14-9-507. SECURED PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PART.

  1. If it is established that the secured party is not proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this Part, disposition may be ordered or restrained by the Tribal Court on appropriate terms and conditions. If the disposition has occurred, the debtor or any person entitled to notification or whose security interest has been made known to the secured party prior to the disposition, has a right to recover from the secured party any loss caused by his failure to comply with the provisions of this Part. If the collateral is consumer goods, the debtor has a right to recover in any event an amount not less than the credit service charge plus 10 percent of the principle amount of the debt or the time price differential plus 10 percent of the cash price.
  2. The fact that a better price could have been obtained by a sale at a different time or in a different method from that selected by the secured party is not itself sufficient to establish that the sale was not made in a commercially reasonable manner. If the secured party either sells the collateral in the usual manner in any recognized market therefore, or if he sells at the price current in such market at the time of his sale, or if he has otherwise sold in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property sold, he has sold in a commercially reasonable manner. The principles stated in the two preceding sentences with respect to sales also apply as may be appropriate to other types of disposition. A disposition which has been approved in any judicial proceeding or by any duly authorized tribal body shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable, but this sentence does not indicate that any such approval must be obtained in any case nor does it indicate that any disposition not so approved is not commercially reasonable.
