National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009

The court, on application by a mortgagor, may order a credit provider to credit the mortgagor with a payment, fixed by the court, exceeding the net proceeds of sale if it is not satisfied that the credit provider sold the goods as soon as reasonably practicable, or at a time agreed between the credit provider and the mortgagor, for the best price reasonably obtainable.

On application by a mortgagor, the mortgagee under any prior mortgage to which the goods are subject or the mortgagee under any subsequent mortgage of which the credit provider has notice, the court, if not satisfied that the credit provider exercised its power of sale in accordance with this Division, may make an order requiring the credit provider to compensate the mortgagor or the relevant mortgagee for any loss suffered as a result.

The onus of proving that a power of sale was exercised in accordance with this Division is on the credit provider that exercised it.
