Where a proceeding is instituted in any Court in relation to any dispute between the master, owner or agent of a ship and a seaman or apprentice, arising out of or incidental to their relation as such, or is instituted for the purpose of this section, the Court, if having regard to all the circumstances of the case, thinks it just to do so, may rescind any contract between the master, owner or agent and the seaman or apprentice upon such terms as the Court may deem fit; and this power of the Court shall be in addition to any power it may have in the exercise of any other jurisdiction.
