- This problem is based on the remedies of the mortgagee or chargee in property law. In this case White Bank as the Mortgagee or Chargee has several remedies in its favour.

- Statutory Power of Sale: the bank is entitled to sell Mrs. Hamiltons house to recover the amount due. This may be the most effective remedy.

- Suit on Personal Covenant: this is the right of the bank to sue Mrs. Hamilton for the amount due under the contract. This action leaves the security intact.

- Fore Closure: this is a court order which would bar Mrs. Hamilton from redeeming her security.
