151. Power to grant relief
(1) Where, in civil proceedings against a person for negligence, default,
breach of trust or breach of duty in a capacity as such a person, it appears
to the Court that the person is or may be liable in respect of the negligence,
default or breach but that the person has acted honestly and that, having
regard to all the circumstances, the person ought fairly to be excused, the
Court may make an order relieving the person, wholly or partly, from liability
on such terms as the Court thinks fit.
(2) The Supreme Court may, on application by a person who has reason
to believe that a claim under or in connection with this Act, any regulation
made under this Act or any FSC Rules will or might be made against him in
respect of negligence, default, breach of trust or breach of duty in a capacity
as such a person, make an order under subsection (1).
