PART III Perfection and Priorities Perfection of security interest 19 A security interest is perfected when it has attached and all steps required for perfection pursuant to this Act have been completed, regardless of the order of occurrence. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 19. Perfection and priorities 19.1(1) Perfection of a security interest in a securities account also perfects a security interest in the security entitlements carried in the securities account. (2) Perfection of a security interest in a futures account also perfects a security interest in the futures contracts carried in the futures account. 2007, c S‑42.3, s 108. When certain security interests are perfected 19.2(1) A security interest arising in the delivery of a financial asset pursuant to subsection 12.1(3) is perfected when it attaches. (2) A security interest in investment property created by a broker or securities intermediary is perfected when it attaches.

(2) A security interest in collateral is not effective against: (a) a trustee in bankruptcy if the security interest is unperfected at the time of bankruptcy; or (b) a liquidator appointed pursuant to the Winding-up and Restructuring Act (Canada) if the security interest is unperfected at the time that the winding‑ up order is made. (2.1) If registration of a security interest lapses as a result of a failure to renew the registration or is discharged without authorization or in error and the secured party registers the security interest not later than 30 days after the lapse or discharge, the lapse or discharge does not affect the priority status of the security interest that existed before the lapse or discharge in relation to: (a) a trustee in bankruptcy if the bankruptcy of the debtor occurred after the lapse or discharge and before the re‑registration; or (b) an enforcement charge that, immediately before the lapse or discharge, had a subordinate priority position. (3) A security interest in goods or an intangible is subordinate to the interest of a transferee who acquires an interest for value pursuant to a transaction that is not a security agreement before the security interest is perfected. (4) Repealed. 2019, c 15, s 10. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 20; 1996, c 18, s 6; 2007, c S‑42.3, s 108; 2010, c 26, s 10; 2010, c E‑9.22, s 217; 2019, c 15, s 10. Measure of damages 21 Where the interest of a lessor pursuant to a lease for a term of more than one year or of a consignor pursuant to a commercial consignment is subordinate to an enforcement charge or is not effective against a trustee or liquidator pursuant to subsection 20(2), the lessor or consignor is deemed, as against the lessee or consignee, as the case may be, to have suffered, immediately before the seizure of the leased or consigned goods or the date of the bankruptcy or winding‑up order, damages in an amount equal to: (a) the value of the leased or consigned goods at the date of the seizure, bankruptcy or winding‑up order; and (b) the amount of loss, other than that mentioned in clause (a), resulting from the termination of the lease or consignment. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 21; 2010, c E‑9.22, s 218. 37 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 Priority re purchase-money security interests 21.1(1) A purchase‑money security interest in: (a) collateral, other than an intangible, that is perfected not later than 15 days after the earlier of: (i) the day on which the debtor obtains possession of the collateral; and (ii) the day on which another person, at the request of the debtor, obtains possession of the collateral; or (b) an intangible that is perfected not later than 15 days after the day on which the security interest attaches; has priority over the interest of a person mentioned in subsection 20(2). (2) For the purposes of this section, if goods are shipped by common carrier to a debtor or to a person designated by the debtor, the debtor does not obtain possession of the goods until the debtor or a third party at the request of the debtor obtains actual possession of the goods or a document of title to the goods, whichever is earlier. 2019, c 15, s11. 22 Repealed. 2010, c E‑9.22, s 219.

(2) A transferee of a security interest has the same priority with respect to perfection of the security interest as the transferor had at the time of the transfer. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 23. Perfection by possession 24(1) Subject to section 19, possession of the collateral by the secured party, or by another person on the secured party’s behalf, perfects a security interest in: (a) tangible chattel paper; (b) goods; (c) an instrument; (d) Repealed. 2007, c S‑42.3, s 108. (e) a negotiable document of title; or (f) money; except where possession is a result of seizure or repossession.

(2) The issuance of a negotiable document of title covering goods does not preclude any other security interest in the goods from arising during the period that the negotiable document of title is outstanding. (3) A perfected security interest in a negotiable document of title covering goods takes priority over a security interest in the goods otherwise perfected after the goods become covered by the negotiable document of title. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 27. 40 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 Perfection re proceeds 28(1) Subject to this Act, where collateral is dealt with or otherwise gives rise to proceeds, the security interest: (a) continues in the collateral unless the secured party expressly or impliedly authorizes the dealing; and (b) extends to the proceeds; but where the secured party enforces a security interest against both the collateral and the proceeds, the amount secured by the security interest in the collateral and the proceeds is limited to the market value of the collateral at the date of the dealing. (1.1) The limitation of the amount secured by a security interest as provided in subsection (1) does not apply if the collateral is investment property. (2) A security interest in proceeds is a continuously perfected security interest if the interest in the original collateral is perfected by registration of a financing statement that: (a) contains a description of the proceeds that would be sufficient to perfect a security interest in original collateral of the same kind; (b) covers the original collateral, if the proceeds are of a kind that are within the description of the original collateral; or (c) covers the original collateral, if the proceeds consist of money, cheques or deposit accounts in banks or similar institutions. (3) Where the security interest in the original collateral is perfected in a manner other than a manner described in subsection (2), the security interest in the proceeds is a continuously perfected security interest, but becomes unperfected on the expiration of 15 days after the security interest in the original collateral attaches to the proceeds unless the security interest in the proceeds is otherwise perfected by any of the methods and under the circumstances specified in this Act for original collateral of the same kind. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 28; 2007, c S‑42.3, s 108.

(2) Where a security interest reattaches pursuant to subsection (1), the perfection of the security interest and the time of registration or perfection are determined as if the goods had not been sold or leased, if: (a) the security interest was perfected by registration at the time of the sale or lease; and (b) the registration is effective at the time of the return, seizure or repossession. 41 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (3) Where a sale or lease of goods creates an account or chattel paper, and: (a) the account or chattel paper is transferred to a secured party; and (b) the goods are returned to, seized or repossessed by the debtor or by the transferee of the chattel paper; the transferee of the account or chattel paper has a security interest in the goods that attaches when the goods are returned, seized or repossessed. (4) Notwithstanding subsection 24(1), a security interest in goods that arises pursuant to subsection (3) is perfected if the security interest in the account or chattel paper was perfected at the time of the return, seizure or repossession, but becomes unperfected on the expiry of 15 days after the return, seizure or repossession unless the transferee registers a financing statement relating to the security interest or takes possession of the goods by seizure, repossession or otherwise before the expiration of that period. (5) A security interest in goods that a transferee of an account has pursuant to subsection (3) is subordinate to a perfected security interest arising pursuant to subsection (1) and to a security interest of a transferee of chattel paper arising pursuant to subsection (3). (6) A security interest in goods that a transferee of chattel paper has pursuant to subsection (3) has priority over: (a) a security interest in goods that reattaches pursuant to subsection (1); and (b) a security interest in goods as after‑acquired property that attaches on the return, seizure or repossession of the goods; if the transferee of the chattel paper would have priority pursuant to sub‑ section 31(7) as to the chattel paper over an interest in the chattel paper claimed by the holder of the security interest in the goods. (7) A security interest in goods given by a buyer or lessee of the goods mentioned in subsection (1) that attaches while the goods are in the possession of the buyer, lessee or debtor and that is perfected when the goods are returned, seized or repossessed has priority over a security interest in the goods arising pursuant to this section. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 29; 1996, c 18, s 7.

Priority re liens 32 Where a person in the ordinary course of business furnishes materials or services with respect to goods that are subject to a security interest, a lien that the person has with respect to those materials or services has priority over a perfected security interest unless the lien is given by an Act that provides that the lien does not have the priority. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 32. Alienation of rights of debtor 33(1) In this section, “transfer” includes a sale, the creation of a security interest and a transfer pursuant to judgment enforcement proceedings. (2) The rights of a debtor in collateral may be transferred consensually or by operation of law notwithstanding a provision in the security agreement that prohibits transfer or declares a transfer to be a default, but a transfer by the debtor does not prejudice the rights of the secured party pursuant to the security agreement or otherwise, including the right to treat a prohibited transfer as an act of default. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 33. 46 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 Priority re purchase-money security interests 34(1) In this section: ‘‘crops’’ includes: (a) growing crops that are attached to land; (b) grains, fruits, vegetables or other produce resulting from harvesting or severance from the land; or (c) agricultural plants grown hydroponically or otherwise not attached to land and the produce resulting from harvesting or severance of those plants; ‘‘non-proceeds security interest’’ or ‘‘non-proceeds purchase-money security interest’’ means a security interest or purchase‑money security interest, as the case may be, in original collateral. (2) Subject to subsection (6) and section 28, a purchase‑money security interest in: (a) collateral or its proceeds, other than intangibles or inventory, that is perfected not later than 15 days after the day on which the debtor, or another person at the request of the debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier; or (b) an intangible or its proceeds that is perfected not later than 15 days after the day on which the security interest in the intangible attaches; has priority over any other security interest in the same collateral given by the same debtor. (3) Subject to subsection (6) and section 28, a purchase‑money security interest in inventory or its proceeds has priority over any other security interest in the same collateral given by the same debtor if: (a) the purchase‑money security interest in the inventory is perfected at the time when the debtor, or another person at the request of the debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier; (b) the secured party gives a notice to any other secured party who has, before the time of registration of the purchase‑money security interest, registered a financing statement containing a description that includes the same item or kind of collateral; and (c) the notice mentioned in clause (b): (i) states that the person giving the notice expects to acquire a purchase‑ money security interest in inventory of the debtor and describes the inventory by item or kind; and (ii) is given before the debtor, or another person at the request of the debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier. (4) A notice mentioned in subsection (3) may be given in accordance with section 68 or by registered mail addressed to the address of the person to be notified as it appears in the financing statement mentioned in clause (3)(b). 47 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (5) Subject to section 28, a purchase‑money security interest in goods and their proceeds, taken by a seller, lessor or consignor of the collateral, that is perfected: (a) in the case of inventory, at the day on which a debtor, or another person at the request of the debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier; and (b) in the case of collateral other than inventory, not later than 15 days after a debtor, or another person at the request of a debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier; has priority over any other purchase‑money security interest in the same collateral given by the same debtor. (6) A non‑proceeds security interest in accounts that is given for new value has priority over a purchase‑money security interest in the accounts as proceeds of inventory if a financing statement relating to the security interest in the accounts is registered before the purchase-money security interest is perfected or a financing statement relating to it is registered. (7) Subsection (6) does not apply to an account in the form of a deposit with a deposit‑taking institution. (8) A non‑proceeds purchase‑money security interest has priority over a purchase‑ money security interest in the same collateral as proceeds, if the non‑proceeds purchase‑money security interest is perfected: (a) in the case of inventory, at the day on which a debtor, or another person at the request of a debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier; and (b) in the case of collateral other than inventory, not later than 15 days after a debtor, or another person at the request of a debtor, obtains possession of the collateral, whichever is earlier. (9) For the purposes of this section, where goods are shipped by common carrier to a debtor or to a person designated by a debtor, the debtor is deemed not to have obtained possession of the goods until the debtor has obtained actual possession of the goods or a document of title to the goods, whichever is earlier. (10) A purchase‑money security interest in an item of collateral does not extend to or continue in the proceeds of the item after the obligation to pay the purchase price of the item or to repay the value given for the purposes of enabling the debtor to acquire rights in it has been discharged. (11) A perfected security interest in crops or their proceeds that is given for value to enable a debtor to produce the crops and that is given: (a) while the crops are growing; or (b) during a period of six months immediately prior to the time when the crops are planted; has priority over any other security interest in the same collateral given by the same debtor. 48 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 (12) A perfected security interest in fowl, cattle or fish or their proceeds that is given for value to enable the debtor to acquire food, drugs or hormones to be fed to or placed in the fowl, cattle or fish has priority over any other security interest in the same collateral given by the same debtor other than a perfected purchase‑ money security interest. (13) A purchase‑money security interest is deemed for priority purposes to have been assigned to the secured party who provided value to the debtor pursuant to the refinancing agreement if: (a) refinancing of an obligation mentioned in subclause 2(1)(jj)(i) or (ii) occurs pursuant to a refinancing agreement between the debtor and a secured party other than the secured party who provided the credit or value mentioned in those subclauses; and (b) either: (i) the original registration relating to the purchase‑money security interest securing the obligation is amended to identify the secured party named in the refinancing agreement as a secured party; or (ii) before expiry or discharge of the original registration relating to the security interest, a registration relating to the purchase‑money security interest is effected disclosing the secured party named in the refinancing agreement as the secured party, or the security interest is otherwise perfected. (14) A purchase‑money security interest that is deemed to have been assigned as provided in subsection (13) has the same priority it had immediately before the deemed assignment with respect to a competing security interest but, if subclause (13)(b)(ii) applies, is subordinate to advances made or contracted for by the holder of a perfected competing security interest after expiry or discharge of the original registration relating to the purchase‑money security interest and before written notice of the deemed assignment is given to the holder. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 34; 1996, c 18, s 8; 2019, c 15, s 16; 2025, c 8, s 11. Residual priority rules 35(1) Where this Act provides no other method for determining priority between security interests: (a) priority between conflicting perfected security interests in the same collateral is determined by the earliest of the following occurrences: (i) the registration of a financing statement without regard to the date of attachment of the security interest; (ii) possession of the collateral pursuant to section 24 without regard to the date of attachment of the security interest; (iii) control pursuant to subsection 2(1.2); (iv) perfection pursuant to section 5, 7, 26, 29 or 74; (b) a perfected security interest has priority over an unperfected security interest; and (c) priority between conflicting unperfected security interests is determined by the order of attachment of the security interests. 49 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a continuously perfected security interest is to be treated at all times as perfected by the method by which it was originally perfected. (3) Subject to section 28, for the purposes of subsection (1), the time of registration, possession or perfection of a security interest in original collateral is also the time of registration, possession or perfection of its proceeds. (4) A security interest in goods that are consumer goods or equipment and are of a kind prescribed as serial numbered goods is not registered or perfected by registration for the purposes of subsection (1), (7) or (8) or subsection 34(2) unless a financing statement relating to the security interest that includes a description of the goods by serial number is registered with the serial number entered into the field labelled for the receipt of serial numbers. (5) The priority that a security interest has pursuant to subsection (1) applies to all advances, including future advances. (6) Repealed. 2010, c E‑9.22, s 220. (7) Where: (a) registration of a security interest: (i) lapses as a result of a failure to renew the registration; or (ii) is discharged without authorization or in error; and (b) the secured party registers the security interest not later than 30 days after the lapse or discharge; the lapse or discharge does not affect the priority status of the security interest in relation to a competing perfected security interest that, immediately prior to the lapse or discharge, had a subordinate priority position, except to the extent that the competing security interest secures advances made or contracted for after the lapse or discharge and prior to the re‑registration. (8) Where a debtor transfers an interest in collateral that, at the time of the transfer, is subject to a perfected security interest, that security interest has priority over any other security interest granted by the transferee before the transfer except to the extent that the security interest granted by the transferee secures advances made or contracted for: (a) after the expiry of 15 days from the day on which the secured party who holds the security interest in the transferred collateral has knowledge of the information required to register a financing change statement showing the transferee as the new debtor; and (b) before the secured party mentioned in clause (a) amends the registration to disclose the name of the transferee as the new debtor or takes possession of the collateral. (9) Subsection (8) does not apply where the transferee acquires the debtor’s interest free from the security interest granted by the debtor. (10) The priority that a security interest has pursuant to another provision of this Act applies to advances, including future advances, made after the interest of the buyer or lessee arises. (11) The priority status of a security interest in relation to another security interest in the same collateral as provided in this or any other Act is not affected by enforcement measures taken by the holder of the other security interest. 50 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 (12) A security interest, other than a purchase‑money security interest, is subordinate to the interest of a person who is a beneficiary of a sum deemed to be held in trust pursuant to section 43 of The Pension Benefits Act, 1992. (13) Sums deemed to be held in trust pursuant to section 43 of The Pension Benefits Act, 1992 are an obligation of the employer secured by a security interest, other than a purchase‑money security interest, in the personal property of the employer that is perfected without registration. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 35; 1996, c 18, s 9; 2010, c E‑9.22, s 220; 2019, c 15, s 17. Priority among conflicting security interests 35.1(1) The rules in this section govern priority among conflicting security interests in the same investment property. (2) A security interest of a secured party having control of investment property pursuant to subsection 2(1.1) has priority over a security interest of a secured party that does not have control of the investment property. (3) A security interest in a certificated security in registered form that is perfected by taking delivery pursuant to subsection 24(3) and not by control pursuant to section 24.1 has priority over a conflicting security interest perfected by a method other than control. (4) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (5) and (6), conflicting security interests of secured parties each of which has control pursuant to subsection 2(1.1) rank according to priority in time of: (a) if the collateral is a security, obtaining control; (b) if the collateral is a security entitlement carried in a securities account: (i) the secured party’s becoming the person for which the securities account is maintained, if the secured party obtained control pursuant to clause 25(1)(a) of The Securities Transfer Act; (ii) the securities intermediary’s agreement to comply with the secured party’s entitlement orders with respect to security entitlements carried or to be carried in the securities account, if the secured party obtained control pursuant to clause 25(1)(b) of The Securities Transfer Act; or (iii) if the secured party obtained control through another person pursuant to clause 25(1)(c) of The Securities Transfer Act, when the other person obtained control; or (c) if the collateral is a futures contract carried with a futures intermediary, the satisfaction of the requirement for control specified in subclause 2(1.1)(d) (ii) with respect to futures contracts carried or to be carried with the futures intermediary. (5) A security interest held by a securities intermediary in a security entitlement or a securities account maintained with the securities intermediary has priority over a conflicting security interest held by another secured party. 51 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (6) A security interest held by a futures intermediary in a futures contract or a futures account maintained with the futures intermediary has priority over a conflicting security interest held by another secured party. (7) Conflicting security interests granted by a broker, securities intermediary, or futures intermediary that are perfected without control pursuant to subsection 2(1.1) rank equally. (8) In all other cases, priority among conflicting security interests in investment property is governed by section 35. 2007, c S‑42.3, s 108.

(2.1) Notwithstanding clause (2)(a), the rights of an assignee who acquires a security interest in an account as proceeds of original collateral are not subject to an account debtor’s right of contractual set‑off or account combination if: (a) the assignee gives a notice to the account debtor before the security interest in the account as proceeds arises that: (i) states that the assignee expects to acquire an interest in the account as proceeds of its original collateral; and (ii) provides details of the instrument, money or transfer of funds that will give rise to the account sufficient to permit the account debtor to reasonably ascertain the account transaction to which it relates; and (b) the assignee’s security interest in the account as proceeds is continuously perfected. (2.2) Subsection (2.1) does not operate in favour of the assignee if the account debtor acquires, in addition to its rights, defences and claims as account debtor on the account, a security interest in the account that, pursuant to this Part, has priority over the security interest of the assignee. (2.3) A notice mentioned in subsection (2.1) may be given in accordance with section 68, but only if notice is given to a deposit‑taking institution with respect to a deposit account, notice must be given at the branch of account. (2.4) For purposes of subsection (2.3), the branch of account: (a) is the branch of the deposit‑taking institution the address or name of which appears on the specimen signature card or other signing authority signed by the assignor with respect to the deposit account or that is designated by agreement between the deposit‑taking institution and the assignor at the time of opening of the deposit account; (b) if no branch has been identified or agreed on pursuant to clause (a), is the branch that is designated as the branch of account by the deposit‑taking institution by notice in writing to the assignor; or 60 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 (c) if neither clause (a) nor (b) applies, is located at the mailing address identified in written communications between the deposit-taking institution and the assignor relating to the deposit account. (3) A modification of or substitution for a contract made in good faith and in accordance with reasonable commercial standards and without material adverse effect on the assignee’s rights under the contract or the assignor’s ability to perform the contract is effective against the assignee unless the account debtor has otherwise agreed. (4) Subsection (3) applies: (a) to the extent that an assigned right to payment arising out of the contract has not been earned by performance; and (b) notwithstanding that there has been notice of the assignment to the account debtor. (5) Where a contract has been substituted or modified in the manner described in subsection (3), the assignee obtains rights that correspond to the rights of the assignor under the substituted or modified contract. (6) Nothing in subsections (3) to (5) affects the validity of a term in an assignment agreement that provides that a modification or substitution mentioned in sub-section (3) is a breach of contract by the assignor. (7) Where collateral that is an intangible or chattel paper is assigned, the account debtor may make payments pursuant to the contract to the assignor: (a) before the account debtor receives a notice that: (i) states that the amount payable or to become payable pursuant to the contract has been assigned and that payment is to made to the assignee; and (ii) identifies the contract pursuant to which the amount payable is to become payable; or (b) after: (i) the account debtor requests the assignee to furnish proof of the assignment; and (ii) the assignee fails to furnish proof within 15 days after the day of the request. (8) Payment by an account debtor to an assignee pursuant to a notice mentioned in clause (7)(a) discharges the obligation of the account debtor to the extent of the payment. (9) A term in a contract between a debtor on an account or on chattel paper and an assignor that prohibits or restricts assignment of the whole of the account or chattel paper for money due or to become due: (a) is binding on the assignor, but only to the extent of making the assignor liable in damages for breach of contract; and (b) is unenforceable against third parties. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 41; 1996, c 18, s 13; 2019, c 15, s 19. 61 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 PART IV Registration Registry 42 The Personal Property Registry is continued for the purposes of registration pursuant to this Act, The Personal Property Security Act and any other Act that requires or permits a registration to be made in the registry. 2013, c O‑4.2, s 146.

Action where trust indentures involved 53(1) An action for recovery of damages pursuant to section 52 brought by a trustee pursuant to a trust indenture or by a person with an interest in a trust indenture shall be brought on behalf of all persons with interests in the same trust indenture, and the judgment in the action, except to the extent that it provides for a subsequent determination of the amount of damages suffered by each person, constitutes a judgment between each person and the Crown with respect to each error or omission. 73 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (2) In an action brought by a trustee pursuant to a trust indenture or by a person with an interest in a trust indenture, proof that each person relied on the search result is not necessary if it is established that the trustee relied on the search result, but no person is entitled to recover damages pursuant to this section if the person knows at the time of acquisition of an interest in the collateral that the search result relied on by the trustee is incorrect. (3) In proceedings pursuant to this section, the court may make any order that it considers appropriate in order to give notice to the persons with interests in the same trust indenture. (4) Subject to subsection 54(1), the court may order payment of all or a portion of the damages awarded to identified persons with interests in the same trust indenture at any time after judgment, and the obligation of the Crown to satisfy the judgment is discharged to the extent that payment is made. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 53; 2000, c 21, s 8; 2013, c O‑4.2, s 151. Payment of claim for loss 54(1) The total amount recoverable in a single action pursuant to section 52, and the total amount recoverable for all claims in a single action pursuant to section 53, shall not exceed a prescribed amount. (2) Where damages are paid to a claimant pursuant to section 52 or 53, the Crown is subrogated to the rights of the claimant against any person indebted to the claimant whose debt to the claimant was the basis of the loss or damage with respect to which the claim was paid. (3) Where a claimant recovers pursuant to section 52 or 53 an amount that is less than the value of the interest the claimant would have had if the error or omission had not occurred, the right of subrogation pursuant to subsection (2) does not prejudice the right of the claimant to recover in priority to the Crown an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid to the claimant and the value of the interest the claimant would have had if the error or omission had not occurred. (4) The Crown may, without action being brought, pay the amount of a claim against the Crown when authorized to do so by the minister on the report of the registrar setting out the facts and the opinion of the registrar that the claim is just and reasonable. (5) Subject to subsection (1), where an award of damages has been made in favour of a claimant and the time for appeal has expired, or where an appeal is taken and it is disposed of in whole or in part in favour of the claimant, the Crown shall pay the amount specified in the judgment in a manner specified in the judgment, including the costs of the claimant if the judgment so provides. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 54; 2000, c 21, s 9; 2013, c O‑4.2, s 152. 54.1 Repealed. 2013, c O4.2, s 153. 54.2 Repealed. 2013, c O4.2, s 153. 74 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 PART V Rights and Remedies on Default Application of Part 55(1) In this section, “secured party” includes a receiver.

(2) The principles of the common law, equity and the law merchant, except to the extent that they are inconsistent with this Act, supplement this Act and continue to apply. (3) All rights, duties or obligations that arise pursuant to a security agreement, this Act or any other applicable law are to be exercised or discharged in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. (4) A person does not act in bad faith merely because the person acts with knowledge of the interest of some other person. (5) If a person, without reasonable excuse, fails to discharge any duties or obligations imposed on the person by this Act, the person to whom the duty or obligation is owed has a right to recover loss or damage that was reasonably foreseeable as liable to result from the failure. (6) Where a secured party, without reasonable excuse: (a) fails to comply with obligations set out in subsection 43(12) or section 49 or 50; or (b) fails to comply with obligations set out in section 17 or 18, sub‑ section 58(2) or section 59, 60 or 61, and the collateral is consumer goods; the debtor or, in a case of non‑compliance with subsection 43(12) or section 49 or 50, the person named as debtor in a financing statement or registration, is deemed to have suffered damages that are not less than the prescribed amount. 87 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (7) Where a debtor or other person with an interest in land or collateral mentioned in section 49 or 50, without reasonable excuse, causes the Registrar of Titles to act pursuant to subsection 49(9) or registers a financing change statement pursuant to subsection 50(5), the secured party mentioned in those subsections is deemed to have suffered damages not less than the prescribed amount. (8) In an action for a deficiency, the debtor may raise as a defence the failure of the secured party to comply with an obligation set out in section 17, 18, 59 or 60, but the non‑compliance of the secured party limits the secured party’s right to the deficiency only to the extent that the non-compliance affects the ability of the debtor to protect the debtor’s interest in the collateral or makes the accurate determination of the deficiency impracticable. (9) Where a secured party fails to comply with an obligation in section 17, 18, 59 or 60, the onus is on the secured party to show that the failure: (a) where the collateral is consumer goods, did not affect the debtor’s ability to protect the debtor’s interest in the collateral by redemption or reinstatement of the security agreement or otherwise; and (b) did not make the accurate determination of the deficiency impracticable. (10) Except as otherwise provided in this Act, a provision in a security agreement or any other agreement that purports to exclude any duty or onus imposed by this Act, or that purports to limit the liability of or the amount of damages recoverable from a person who has failed to discharge any duty or obligation imposed by this Act, is void. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 65; 1996, c 18, s 18; 2000, c L‑5.1, s 373. Application to court 66(1) On an application of an interested person, the court may: (a) make an order determining questions of priority or entitlement to collateral; or (b) direct an action to be brought or an issue to be tried. (2) An appeal lies to the Court of Appeal from an order, judgment or direction of a court made pursuant to this Act. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 66. Extension of time 67 Where, in section 11 and in subsections 36(14), 38(13) and 43(12), a time limit is prescribed for the doing of an act or thing, the court, on an application made before or after the time has expired, may extend or abridge, conditionally or otherwise, the time for compliance. 1993, c P‑6.2, s 67. 88 c P-6.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 Service of documents 68(1) A notice or demand, other than a demand pursuant to section 18 or a copy or reproduced copy of a verification statement mentioned in subsection 43(12), may be given: (a) to an individual, by leaving it with the individual or by sending it by registered mail addressed to: (i) the individual at the individual’s residence; or (ii) where the individual is the sole proprietor of a business, the name of the individual at the address of the business; (b) to a partnership: (i) by leaving it with: (A) one or more of the general partners; or (B) a person who, at the time of the delivery, has control or management of the partnership business; or (ii) by registered mail addressed to: (A) the partnership; (B) one or more of the general partners; or (C) a person who, at the time of the delivery, has control or management of the partnership business; at the address of the partnership business; (c) to a corporation, other than a municipality: (i) by leaving it with an officer or director of the corporation or with a person who is in charge of any office or place of business of the corporation; (ii) by leaving it with or by sending it by registered mail addressed to the registered office or head office of the corporation; or (iii) where the corporation has its registered office or head office outside Saskatchewan, by leaving it with or by sending it by registered mail addressed to the attorney for the corporation appointed pursuant to The Business Corporations Act, 2021 or The Non-profit Corporations Act, 2021, as the case may be; (d) to a municipal corporation by: (i) leaving it with the mayor, reeve, clerk or secretary of the municipality or a deputy of any of those persons; or (ii) sending it by registered mail addressed to the principal office of the corporation or to the chief administrative officer of the corporation; 89 PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY, 1993 c P-6.2 (e) to an association: (i) by leaving it with an officer of the association; or (ii) by sending it by registered mail addressed to an officer of the association at the address of the officer; and (f) to the Crown in right of Saskatchewan as provided in The Proceedings Against the Crown Act, 2019.

(6) The validity of a prior security interest is governed by the law in force when the security interest was created.
