17A .         Relief of members from liability

                If, in any civil proceeding against a person who is or was a member for negligence, default, breach of trust or breach of duty in the person’s capacity as a member, it appears to the court that the person —

            (a)         is, or may be, liable in respect of the negligence, default or breach;

            (b)         has acted honestly; and

            (c)         ought fairly to be excused for the negligence, default or breach having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including those connected with the person’s appointment,

                the court may relieve the person either wholly or partly from liability on such terms as the court thinks fit.
