I110Power of sheriff to order release of wellboats
1
This section applies where a wellboat is being detained under section 8.
2
If, on an application to a sheriff by the master, an owner or a charterer of the wellboat, the sheriff is satisfied as to either of the matters mentioned in subsection (4), the sheriff may order that the wellboat be released.
3
An application under subsection (2) is to be made by way of summary application.
4
Those matters are that—
a
the continued detention of the wellboat under section 8 is not necessary to secure that the master, an owner or a charterer of the wellboat will attend court, or
b
there are no grounds for believing that the court referred to in subsection (1)(b)(ii) of that section will order the vessel to be detained.
