Orders on reopening of transactions
177G Orders on reopening of transactions
The court may, if it reopens a transaction under this Subdivision, do any one or more of the following, despite any settlement of accounts or any agreement purporting to close previous dealings and create a new obligation:
reopen an account already taken between the parties to the transaction;
relieve the lessee from payment of any amount in excess of such amount as the court, having regard to the risk involved and all other circumstances, considers to be reasonably payable;
set aside either wholly or in part or revise or alter an agreement made in connection with the transaction;
give judgement for or make an order in favour of a party to the transaction of such amount as, having regard to the relief (if any) which the court thinks fit to grant, is justly due to that party under the consumer lease;
give judgement or make an order against a person for delivery of goods to which the lease relates and which are in the possession of that person;
make ancillary or consequential orders.
