Section 67 -Excluded contract-holder’s remedies

214.This section provides a remedy to a contract-holder where the court makes an order excluding him or her from the contract under Section 66. The contract-holder may, within six months of the date of the order, apply for a declaration that the head contract continues. The grounds for making the application are set out in subsection (3). They include inadequate investigations by the sub-holder and that the failure to respond to the sub-holder’s notice was reasonable. The court may rescind its previous order and declare that the head contract continues, and make any further order it thinks fit.
