Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(a) The fact that a greater amount could have been obtained by a collection,
enforcement, disposition, or acceptance at a different time or in a different method
from that selected by the secured party is not of itself sufficient to preclude the
secured party from establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or
acceptance was made in a commercially reasonable manner.
(b) A disposition of collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner
if the disposition is made:
(1) In the usual manner on any recognized market;
(2) At the price current in any recognized market at the time of the
disposition; or
(3) Otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial practices
among dealers in the type of property that was the subject of the disposition.
(c) A collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is commercially
reasonable if it has been approved:
(1) In a judicial proceeding;
(2) By a bona fide creditors' committee;
(3) By a representative of creditors; or

(4) By an assignee for the benefit of creditors.
(d) Approval under subsection (c) need not be obtained, and lack of approval
does not mean that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is not
commercially reasonable.
