§ 3980. Discharge of person confined for contempt
When it appears on the hearing upon such writ that such disobedience or contempt was
committed through ignorance, mistake, or misapprehension, or by acting in good faith
under the advice of counsel, and that relief may be granted without impairing the
rights of the parties concerned or the due administration of law, the Supreme Court
may discharge such person from such imprisonment or confinement upon such terms as
seem just.
