76 .         Park operator’s claim if sale proceeds insufficient

        (2)         The State Administrative Tribunal may make an order for the payment to the park operator of an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the sale and the reasonable costs of removing, storing and selling the goods if —

            (a)         the park operator has obtained a written statement from the Commissioner to the effect that, in the opinion of the Commissioner, section 48(2) does not apply to the goods; and

            (b)         the tribunal is satisfied that the amount of the costs exceeds the amount of the proceeds.

        (3)         The amount specified in the order is payable to the park operator out of the Rental Accommodation Fund.
