An application for a compensation order may be made whether or not a declaration of contravention has been made for the matter the subject of the application. The court may order the board member to pay to the applicant or other person, as compensation, an amount, decided by the court, if the court is satisfied— the board member has contravened section 6 , 7 , 8 or 9 ; and the applicant or other person has suffered damage because of the contravention. The order must state the amount of the compensation. The court may relieve the board member either wholly or partly from paying the compensation if the court is satisfied— the board member acted honestly; and having regard to all the circumstances of the contravention, the board member ought fairly to be excused for the contravention.
