PREDOMINANT-PURPOSE TEST

predominant-purpose test. An assessment of whether Article 2 of the UCC applies to an exchange, conducted by considering whether the exchange’s chief aspect, viewed in light of all the circumstances, is the sale of goods. • If goods account for most of the exchange’s value, it is probably a sale; if services account for most of the value, it probably is not. The leading case is Bonebrake v. Cox, 499 F.2d 951, 960 (8th Cir. 1974). — Also termed predominant-aspect test.
