Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 2010 Explanatory Notes

Sections 6 and 7:  Relevant discharge terms and Absence of relevant discharge terms

These sections provide for special terms (i.e. relevant discharge terms) of a certified contract, whether the main or collateral contract, which come into play in the event that a court finds the contract to be unlawful and that it should be set aside.  Section 6 provides for terms to be agreed between the parties for this eventuality and section 7 provides for the situation where no discharge terms have been agreed or where the court finds that such terms are unenforceable.
