This legal document, part of the Minnesota Statutes under the Trade Regulations and Consumer Protection section, pertains to the rights and enforcement procedures after default in a secured transaction. It outlines the rights of a secured party, including the ability to reduce a claim to judgment, foreclose, or enforce the claim through judicial procedures. The document also discusses the rights and duties of a secured party in possession or control of collateral.

This legal document, part of the Minnesota Statutes under the Uniform Commercial Code, governs the rights and duties of debtors, obligors, and secured parties in relation to collateral. It specifies that certain rules cannot be waived or varied by the debtor or obligor if they give rights to the debtor or obligor and impose duties on the secured party. The document lists the specific sections that cannot be waived or varied, including those related to the use and operation of collateral, requests for accounting and information about collateral, collection and enforcement of collateral, application or payment of noncash proceeds, accounting for surplus proceeds, taking possession of collateral without judicial process, disposition of collateral, calculation of deficiency or surplus, explanation of surplus or deficiency calculation, acceptance of collateral in satisfaction of obligation, redemption of collateral, permissible waivers, and secured party’s liability for failure to comply with the article.

(a) Agreed standards. The parties may determine by agreement the standards measuring the fulfillment of the rights of a debtor or obligor and the duties of a secured party under a rule stated in section 336.9-602 if the standards are not manifestly unreasonable. (b) Agreed standards inapplicable to breach of peace. Subsection (a) does not apply to the duty under section 336.9-609 to refrain from breaching the peace. History: 2000 c 399 art 1 s 104

This legal document, part of the Minnesota Statutes under the Uniform Commercial Code, provides guidelines for the enforcement of security agreements that cover both personal and real property, as well as fixtures. If a security agreement covers both personal and real property, a secured party may proceed with enforcement separately for the personal property without affecting their rights with respect to the real property. Alternatively, they may enforce both the personal and real property together, following the rights associated with the real property.

A secured party does not owe a duty based on 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.

For purposes of this part, a default occurs in connection with an agricultural lien at the time the secured party becomes entitled to enforce the lien in accordance with the statute under which it was created. History: 2000 c 399 art 1 s 107
