Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an offence contemplated in paragraph 1 of section 500, the judge may rule that the alleged offence is not a corrupt electoral practice if, pursuant to a judgment rendered under the second paragraph of section 447, the election expenses incurred or authorized by the official agent exceed the maximum fixed by section 430 and if the refusal or failure to pay the contested expenses arises from an error in good faith.
