N.Y. Military Law § 305: Relief against fines and penalties, et cetera

§ 305. Relief against fines and penalties, et cetera. When an action

for compliance with the terms of any contract is stayed pursuant to this

act no fine or penalty shall accrue by reason of failure to comply with

the terms of such contract during the period of such stay, and in any

case where a person fails to perform any obligation and a fine or

penalty for such non-performance is incurred a court may, on such terms

as may be just, relieve against the enforcement of such fine or penalty

if it shall appear that the person who would suffer by such fine or

penalty was in the military service when the penalty was incurred, and

that by reason of such service the ability of such person to pay or

perform was thereby materially impaired.
