Subsection (2) applies where—

a consumer has not rejected goods which the consumer could have rejected for breach of a term mentioned in section 19(3) or (6),
the consumer has chosen to treat the breach as giving rise only to a claim for damages or to a right to rely on the breach against a claim by the trader for the price of the goods, and
the trader has begun proceedings in court to recover the price or has brought a counter-claim for the price.

The court may require the consumer—

to consign, or pay into court, the price of the goods, or part of the price, or
to provide some other reasonable security for payment of the price.
