Power to except innocent act from being illegal practice, payment, employment or hiring.

107.(1) An application for relief under this section may be made to the High
Court or an election court or else, if in respect of a payment made in
contravention of sub-section (1) or (2) of section forty-three to the county
court.

(2) If the court is satisfied

(a)that any act or omission of any person would but for this section by reason
of being in contravention of this Act be an illegal practice, payment,
employment or hiring;

(b)that the act or omission arose from inadvertence or from accidental
miscalculation or from some other reasonable cause of a like nature, and in
any case did not arise from any want of good faith; and

(c)that such notice of the application has been given in the constituency or,
as the case may be, the area of the local authority for which the election was
held, as to the court seems fit;

(3) An appeal shall lie to the High Court from any order of the county court
