Highest bid

Highest bid submitted for the property during the court auction hearing.

In brief

Definition and context: The highest bid is the highest bid made during the hearing. It is usually recorded in the auction minutes and the court documents concerning the award. Section 190 of the Enforcement Act uses the term narrowly when asking whether the buyer is in default with depositing the highest bid.

Role question: Buyers must keep their own budget separate from the court bid. The bid budget planner records a private ceiling, while the buyer checklist structures the supporting records.

Distinction: The highest bid is neither the value stated in the valuation report nor the court’s award nor the later distribution mass. Any statement on deposit, crediting or additional amounts depends on the specific file.
