Gambling and Racing Control Act 1999

This section applies to an authorised officer who is not a member of the governing board.

Note Members of governing boards are protected from liability under the Financial Management Act 1996, s 90.

The authorised officer is not civilly liable for anything done or omitted to be done honestly and without recklessness—

for the purpose of administering or enforcing a territory gaming law; or

for the purpose of administering or enforcing a gaming law of a reciprocating jurisdiction under division 4.3; or

in the reasonable belief that the act or omission was for a purpose mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).

Any liability that would, apart from this section, attach to the authorised officer attaches instead to the commission.
