 (4) A meeting held for the purposes of this Act, or a meeting notice of which is required to be given in accordance with the provisions of this Act, or any proceeding at such a meeting, is not invalidated merely because of the inability of a person to access the notice of meeting, unless the Court, on the application of the person concerned, a person entitled to attend the meeting or the Registrar, declares proceedings at the meeting to be void.

 (i) a substantial injustice has been caused or may be caused; and
 (ii) the injustice cannot be remedied by any order of the Court; and
 (b) the Court declares the meeting or proceeding (or that part of it) invalid.
 (6) Subject to the following provisions of this section but without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Act, the Court may, on application by any interested person, make all or any of the following orders, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as the Court imposes:
 (a) an order declaring that any act, matter or thing purporting to have been done, or any proceeding purporting to have been instituted or taken, under this Act or in relation to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation is not invalid by reason of any contravention of a provision of this Act or a provision of the constitution of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation;
 (b) an order directing the rectification of any register kept by the Registrar under this Act;
 (c) an order relieving a person in whole or in part from any civil liability in respect of a contravention or failure of a kind referred to in paragraph (a);
 (d) an order extending the period for doing any act, matter or thing or instituting or taking any proceeding under this Act or in relation to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation (including an order extending a period where the period concerned ended before the application for the order was made) or abridging the period
