(3) At the time of the application for or the making or giving of any order or judgment for the recovery of possession of any domestic tenement, or for the ejectment of a tenant therefrom, or in the case of any such order or judgment which has been made or given, whether before or after the passing of this Ordinance, and not executed, at any subsequent time, the court may adjourn the application, or stay or suspend execution on any such order or judgment, or postpone the date of possession, for such period or periods as it thinks fit, and subject to such conditions (if any) in regard to payment by the tenant of arrears of rent, rent, or mesne profits and otherwise as the court thinks fit, and, if such conditions are complied with, the court may, if it thinks fit, discharge or rescind any such order or judgment.
(4) Where any order or judgment has been made or given before the passing of this Ordinance, but not executed, and, in the opinion of the court, the order or judgment would not have been made or given if this Ordinance had been in force at the time when such order or judgment was made or given, the court may, on application by the tenant, rescind or vary such order or judgment in such manner as the court may think fit.
(5) Where a lessor has obtained an order or judgment for possession or ejectment on the ground that he requires a domestic tenement for his own occupation, and it is subsequently made to appear to the court that the order was obtained by misrepresentation or the concealment of material facts, the court may order the lessor to pay to the former tenant such sum as appears sufficient as compensation for damage or loss sustained by that tenant as the result of the order or judgment.
(6) Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as affecting the operation of sections 205, 206, 207 or 207A of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903.
5.-(1) Where the rights of any lessee of any building or the rent payable under buildings, other than the Crown lessee and the tenant in intermediate actual occupation, are affected by the operation of this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for such lessee to apply to the court for the revision of the rent payable under the lease, and upon such application the court may make such order as it shall think fit.
