I-13.2.2 - Deposit Institutions and Deposit Protection Act

Full text
42.20. The Authority may apply to a court to cancel or suspend the performance of a contract entered into by an authorized deposit institution in contravention of this Act if the Authority shows that the cancellation or suspension is in the interest of the deposit institution’s depositors and that, under the circumstances, that interest must prevail over the legal security of parties to the contract and of other persons whose rights and obligations would be affected by the cancellation or suspension.
The cancellation or suspension may not be applied for after the end of the 10th year after the contract concerned came into effect.
The court may also order that directors who are party to such a contract, who have authorized it or who have otherwise facilitated its entering into, be solidarily required to pay the authorized deposit institution the amount of damages awarded as compensation for the injury suffered or the sum paid by the authorized deposit institution because of the contract.
