     Excerpt from James J. White & Robert S. Summers’ Uniform Commercial Code (4th ed. 1995).:

     “What are incidental damages?  The Code does not define incidental damages; rather 2415(1) lists many expenses that are included as incidental damages. However, Comment 1 to 2-715 stresses that those listed ‘are not intended to be exhaustive’ but are merely illustrative of the typical kinds of incidental expenses that can be recovered under 2-715:

(1) those associated with rightful rejection (for instance, inspection and storage);
(2) those associated with a proper revocation of acceptance; and
(3) those involved in effecting cover.” [3]
