The Moratorium Act Aimed At Mortgage Relief Across Commonwealth
The Moratorium Act limits mortgagee actions, requiring court leave for principal payments and certain breaches. It sets a three month window for mortgagors to seek eviction relief after possession and allows extension if payments falter, with interest caps and court discretion to adjust. The act defines hire purchase, excludes Crown bodies, and grants broad court powers to balance repayment and security while preserving key protections.
