Sec. 42a-2A-307. Casualty to identified goods. If the lease contract requires for
its performance goods identified when the lease contract is made and the goods suffer
casualty without the fault of the lessee, the lessor or the supplier before delivery or if
the goods suffer casualty before the risk of loss passes to the lessee under the lease
agreement or section 42a-2A-306, the following rules apply:
(1) If the loss occurs before the goods are delivered to the lessee, the lessor or
supplier shall seasonably notify the lessee of the nature and extent of the loss.
(2) If the loss is total, the lease contract is avoided.
(3) If the loss is partial or the goods no longer conform to the lease contract, the
lessee may nevertheless demand inspection and may treat the lease contract as avoided
or, except in a finance lease that is not a consumer lease, accept or retain the goods with
due allowance from the rent payable for the balance of the duration of the lease for the
nonconformity but without further right against the lessor.
