Exclusion of personal liability
14.5 Exclusion of personal liability
In this section—
protected person means any of the following—
the Minister,
the Environment Agency Head or any other employee of the Department,
a member of the Threatened Species Scientific Committee,
a member of the Biodiversity Conservation Advisory Panel,
a member of the Board of the Biodiversity Conservation Trust or an employee of the Trust,
a person acting under the direction of any of the above persons.
Anything done or omitted to be done by a protected person does not subject the protected person personally to any action, liability, claim or demand if the thing was done, or omitted to be done, in good faith for the purpose of exercising the functions of the protected person under this Act.
However, any such liability attaches instead to the Crown (or, in the case of a member of the Board of the Biodiversity Conservation Trust or an employee of the Trust, to the Trust).
