Where income obtained from the disposal of mortgaged real property is insufficient for the payment of debt, or penalty for breach of contract and compensation, the mortgagee has the right to pursue the debtor for the outstanding amount.

PART SEVEN LEGAL LIABILITY

Article 48 Where a mortgagor is found to have concealed such circumstances regarding the mortgaged real property, for example, that it is jointly owned, is involved in a property rights dispute, is sealed up, held or under government examination, the mortgagor shall bear any liability thus arising.

Article 49 Where a mortgagor sells, leases, exchanges, gives away or uses other methods to dispose of its mortgaged real property without authorization, such acts shall be considered invalid. Where a third party suffers any losses as a result, the mortgagor shall be liable for compensation.

Article 52 Where it is found that personnel of the registration authorities have perpetrated dereliction of duties, abused their power, taken advantage of their position, have solicited financial gains from others, or have illegally accepted bribes from others in order to advance these people's interests, administrative penalty shall be imposed on such personnel in accordance with the law. Where the act constitutes a criminal offence, criminal responsibility shall be assessed in accordance with the law.
