27A Missing people’s property—liability of manager and third party dealings
A manager does not incur any liability, either to a missing person or anyone else, because of conduct done honestly during the manager’s appointment under section 8AA (4) (Manager for missing person’s property) in relation to a missing person’s property if the conduct was for the exercise of a function under the appointment or of a function that the manager believed, on reasonable grounds, was a function under the appointment.
A person (the third party) who deals with a manager in relation to property that is under the manager’s control because of the manager’s appointment under section 8AA (4), does not incur any liability because of the dealing if it was done in the honest belief that the dealing was for the exercise of a function under the appointment.
