Orders on reopening of transactions
77 Orders on reopening of transactions
The court may, if it reopens a transaction under this Division, 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 debtor and any guarantor 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 or mortgage given in connection with the transaction;
order that the mortgagee takes such steps as are necessary to discharge the mortgage;
give judgment 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 contract, mortgage or guarantee;
give judgment or make an order against a person for delivery of goods to which the contract, mortgage or guarantee relates and which are in the possession of that person;
make ancillary or consequential orders.
