:(b) The debtor has engaged in wilful or reckless acts or neglect which have caused substantial damage or deterioration to the goods, and the secured party may seek a court order pursuant to s 67(9) disqualifying the debtor from the rights and remedies ordinarily available under ss 67(1) – (7); or | |||

Generally, once security is perfected, the creditor’s interest has priority over the interests of third parties, whereas unperfected security takes a lower priority (s 19). However, as described above, one exception to s 19 is in s 30 where a creditor’s interest in the collateral does not continue because of a ''bona fide'' purchaser’s interest, but the creditor’s interest will continue in the proceeds. | Generally, once security is perfected, the creditor’s interest has priority over the interests of third parties, whereas unperfected security takes a lower priority (s 19).
