V.I. Code tit. 11A, § 9-626 (2019)
2019 US Virgin Islands Code|Title 11A - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part 6 - Default|Subpart 2 - Noncompliance With Article|§ 9-626. Action in which deficiency or surplus is in issue

 (a) Applicable rules if amount of deficiency or surplus in issue. In an action arising from a transaction, other than a consumer transaction, in which the amount of a deficiency or surplus is in issue, the following rules apply: (1) A secured party need not prove compliance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance unless the debtor or a secondary obligor places the secured party's compliance in issue. (2) If the secured party's compliance is placed in issue, the secured party has the burden of establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with this part. (3) Except as otherwise provided in § 9–628, if a secured party fails to prove that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance, the liability of a debtor or a secondary obligor for a deficiency is limited to an amount by which the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's fees exceeds the greater of: (A) the proceeds of the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance; or (B) The amount of proceeds that would have been realized had the noncomplying secured party proceeded in accordance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance. (4) For purposes of paragraph (3)(B), the amount of proceeds that would have been realized is equal to the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's fees unless the secured party proves that the amount is less than that sum. (5) If a deficiency or surplus is calculated under § 9–615(f), the debtor or obligor has the burden of establishing that the amount of proceeds of the disposition is significantly below the range of prices that a complying disposition to a person other than the secured party, a person related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor would have brought. (b) Non-consumer transactions; no inference. The limitation of the rules in subsection (a) to transactions other than consumer transactions is intended to leave to the court the determination of the proper rules in consumer transactions. The court may not infer from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions and may continue to apply established approaches.
V.I. Code tit. 11A, § 9-627 (2019)
2019 US Virgin Islands Code|Title 11A - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part 6 - Default|Subpart 2 - Noncompliance With Article|§ 9-627. Determination of whether conduct was commercially reasonable

 (a) Greater amount obtainable under other circumstances; no preclusion of commercial reasonableness. 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) Dispositions that are commercially reasonable. 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) Approval by court or on behalf of creditors. 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) not necessary; absence of approval has no effect. 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.

2019 US Virgin Islands Code|Title 11A - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part 6 - Default|Subpart 2 - Noncompliance With Article|§ 9-628. Nonliability and limitation on liability of secured party; liability of secondary obligor

 (a) Limitation of liability of secured party for noncompliance with article. Unless a secured party knows that a person is a debtor or obligor, knows the identity of the person, and knows how to communicate with the person: (1) the secured party is not liable to the person, or to a secured party or lienholder that has filed a financing statement against the person, for failure to comply with this article; and (2) the secured party's failure to comply with this article does not affect the liability of the person for a deficiency. (b) Limitation of liability based on status as secured party. A secured party is not liable because of its status as secured party: (1) to a person that is a debtor or obligor, unless the secured party knows: (A) that the person is a debtor or obligor; (B) the identity of the person; and (C) how to communicate with the person; or (2) to a secured party or lienholder that has filed a financing statement against a person, unless the secured party knows: (A) that the person is a debtor; and (B) the identity of the person. (c) Limitation of liability if reasonable belief that transaction not a consumer goods transaction or consumer transaction. A secured party is not liable to any person, and a person's liability for a deficiency is not affected, because of any act or omission arising out of the secured party's reasonable belief that a transaction is not a consumer goods transaction or a consumer transaction or that goods are not consumer goods, if the secured party's belief is based on its reasonable reliance on: (1) a debtor's representation concerning the purpose for which collateral was to be used, acquired, or held; or (2) an obligor's representation concerning the purpose for which a secured obligation was incurred. (d) Limitation of liability for statutory damages. A secured party is not liable to any person under § 9–625(c)(2) for its failure to comply with § 9–616. (e) Limitation of multiple liability for statutory damages. A secured party is not liable under § 9–625(c)(2) more than once with respect to any one secured obligation.

 If any executor or administrator refuses to allow any claim or demand against the deceased after it has been exhibited to him in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter, the claimant may present his claim to the court or the judge thereof for allowance, giving the executor or administrator thirty days' notice of such application to the court. The district court shall hear and determine in a summary manner all demands against any estate in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and which have been so rejected by the executor or administrator, and shall cause a concise entry of the order of allowance or rejection to be made on the record. The order shall have the force and effect of a judgment, from which an appeal may be taken as in ordinary cases. No claim which has been rejected by the executor or administrator as aforesaid shall be allowed by the court, except upon some competent or satisfactory evidence other than the testimony of the claimant. No claim shall be allowed by the executor or administrator or the district court which is barred by the statute of limitations.

 The effect of a judgment against an executor or administrator on account of a claim against the estate of his testator or intestate, is only to establish the claim as if it had been allowed by him, so as to require it to be satisfied in due course of administration, unless it appears that the complaint alleged assets in his hands applicable to the satisfaction of such claim and that such allegation was admitted or found to be true, in which case the judgment may be enforced against the executor or administrator personally.

 If a debt has been established by judgment against the deceased in his lifetime, the judgment, if the proceeds of the personal property are not sufficient to satisfy it, may, in the discretion of the court, be either satisfied from the proceeds of the sale of the property by the executor or administrator upon which it is a lien, or enforced by execution against such property. The sale by the executor or administrator discharges the property from the lien of the judgment but the lien attaches to the proceeds thereof, after deduction of the expenses of sale.
