DISTRICT COURT ACT 1991 - SECT 36

36—Alternative forms of relief

        (1)         Although a particular form of relief is sought by a party to an action, the Court may grant any other form of relief that it considers more appropriate to the circumstances of the case.

        (2)         In particular—

            (a)         where a party seeks relief by way of injunction or specific performance, the Court may award damages in addition to or in substitution for such relief;

            (b)         where a party seeks foreclosure of the equity of redemption in mortgaged property, the Court may, instead of ordering foreclosure—

                  (i)         direct the sale of the mortgaged property; or

                  (ii)         direct a transfer of the mortgage debt and security to a person who agrees to assume the debt.
