24shown in the list or statement included in the request as against a person that is
25reasonably misled by the failure.
SB9-SSA1,179,4
1409.626 Action in which deficiency or surplus is in issue. (1) Applicable
2rules if amount of deficiency or surplus in issue.
In an action arising from a
3transaction, other than a consumer transaction, in which the amount of a deficiency
4or surplus is in issue, the following rules apply:
SB9-SSA1,179,75 (a) A secured party need not prove compliance with the provisions of this
6subchapter relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance unless the
7debtor or a secondary obligor places the secured party's compliance in issue.
SB9-SSA1,179,108 (b) If the secured party's compliance is placed in issue, the secured party has
9the burden of establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or
10acceptance was conducted in accordance with this subchapter.
SB9-SSA1,179,1611 (c) Except as otherwise provided in s. 409.628, if a secured party fails to prove
12that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in
13accordance with the provisions of this subchapter relating to collection, enforcement,
14disposition, or acceptance, the liability of a debtor or a secondary obligor for a
15deficiency is limited to an amount by which the sum of the secured obligation,
16expenses, and attorney fees exceeds the greater of:
SB9-SSA1,179,1717 1. The proceeds of the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance; or
SB9-SSA1,179,2018 2. The amount of proceeds that would have been realized had the noncomplying
19secured party proceeded in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter
20relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance.
SB9-SSA1,179,2321 (d) For purposes of par. (c) 2., the amount of proceeds that would have been
22realized is equal to the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney fees

25obligor has the burden of establishing that the amount of proceeds of the disposition

1is significantly below the range of prices that a complying disposition to a person
2other than the secured party, a person related to the secured party, or a secondary
3obligor would have brought.
SB9-SSA1,180,8 4(2) Nonconsumer transactions; no inference. The limitation of the rules in
5sub. (1) to transactions other than consumer transactions is intended to leave to the
6court the determination of the proper rules in consumer transactions. The court may
7not infer from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions
8and may continue to apply established approaches.
SB9-SSA1,180,16 9409.627 Determination of whether conduct was commercially
10reasonable. (1)
Greater amount obtainable under other circumstances; no
11preclusion of commercial reasonableness.
The fact that a greater amount could
12have been obtained by a collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance at a
13different time or in a different method from that selected by the secured party is not
14of itself sufficient to preclude the secured party from establishing that the collection,
15enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was made in a commercially reasonable
16manner.
SB9-SSA1,180,18 17(2) Dispositions that are commercially reasonable. A disposition of collateral
18is made in a commercially reasonable manner if the disposition is made:
SB9-SSA1,180,1919 (a) In the usual manner on any recognized market;
SB9-SSA1,180,2120 (b) At the price current in any recognized market at the time of the disposition;
21or
SB9-SSA1,180,2322 (c) Otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among
23dealers in the type of property that was the subject of the disposition.
SB9-SSA1,180,25 24(3) Approval by court or on behalf of creditors. A collection, enforcement,
25disposition, or acceptance is commercially reasonable if it has been approved:
SB9-SSA1,181,1
1(a) In a judicial proceeding;
SB9-SSA1,181,22 (b) By a bona fide creditors' committee;
SB9-SSA1,181,33 (c) By a representative of creditors; or
SB9-SSA1,181,44 (d) By an assignee for the benefit of creditors.
SB9-SSA1,181,8 5(4) Approval under sub. (3) not necessary; absence of approval has no effect.
6Approval under sub. (3) need not be obtained, and lack of approval does not mean
7that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is not commercially
8reasonable.
SB9-SSA1,181,13 9409.628 Nonliability and limitation on liability of secured party;
10liability of secondary obligor. (1)
Limitation of liability of secured party for
11noncompliance with chapter.
Unless a secured party knows that a person is a debtor
12or obligor, knows the identity of the person, and knows how to communicate with the
13person:
SB9-SSA1,181,1614 (a) The secured party is not liable to the person, or to a secured party or
15lienholder that has filed a financing statement against the person, for failure to
16comply with this chapter; and
SB9-SSA1,181,1817 (b) The secured party's failure to comply with this chapter does not affect the
18liability of the person for a deficiency.
SB9-SSA1,181,20 19(2) Limitation of liability based on status as secured party. A secured party
20is not liable because of its status as secured party:
