118  Enforcing security interests in accordance with land law decisions

Scope
 (1) This section applies if:
 (a) a secured party makes a decision (under paragraph 117(2)(b)) to enforce the security interest in the personal property in the same way as the interest in the land may be enforced under the land law; and
 (b) unless section 144 applies, the secured party gives a notice in accordance with subsection (2) to the following persons:
 (i) the grantor;
 (ii) a secured party with a security interest in the personal property that is perfected immediately before the decision under paragraph 117(2)(b) is made;
 (iii) any person who, by the time the secured party gives the notice, has notified the secured party in writing that the person claims an interest in the personal property.
 (2) A notice is given in accordance with this subsection if:
 (a) the notice is in the approved form; or
 (b) the notice:
 (i) contains a description of the personal property to which the notice relates; and
 (ii) sets out the effect of this section.

How security interest is to be enforced
 (3) The secured party may enforce the security interest in the same way, with any necessary modification, as the interest in the land may be enforced under the land law.
 (4) Subject to this section, and with any necessary modification, law in the same terms as that of the land law applies under this Act for the purposes of the enforcement of the security interest.

Note: The effect of this subsection is not to adopt the land law as such, but to apply law to the same effect as the land law (with any necessary modification, and subject to this section).
 (5) The regulations may modify the law that applies by virtue of subsection (4) in order to facilitate its application to the enforcement of security interests in the personal property.
Note: For the meaning of modification, see section 10.

Additional law that applies
 (6) Section 140 (distribution of proceeds), section 117 and this section apply to the enforcement of the security interest in the personal property. Otherwise, this Chapter does not apply to the enforcement of the security interest in the personal property.
