Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. 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.
2. A disposition of collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner if the 
disposition is made:
a. In the usual manner on any recognized market;
b. At the price current in any recognized market at the time of the disposition; or
c. Otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in 
the type of property that was the subject of the disposition.
3. A collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is commercially reasonable if it 
has been approved:
a. In a judicial proceeding;
b. By a bona fide creditors' committee;
c. By a representative of creditors; or
d. By an assignee for the benefit of creditors.
4. Approval under subsection 3 need not be obtained, and lack of approval does not 
mean that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is not commercially 
reasonable.
