Exclusion of personal liability
190 Exclusion of personal liability
A matter or thing done or omitted to be done by—
an officer of the Commission, or
the Inspector, or
an Assistant Inspector, or
a member of staff of the Inspector, or
a person acting under the direction of any person referred to in paragraphs (a)–(d),
does not, if the matter or thing was done or omitted to be done in good faith for the purposes of executing this Act, subject any such officer, member or person so acting personally to any action, liability, claim or demand.
A reference in subsection (1) to the execution of this Act includes a reference to the execution of the provisions of any other Act that confer or impose functions on the Commission, a Commissioner or Inspector.
An Australian legal practitioner assisting the Commission or an examining Commissioner or representing a person before the Commission or an examining Commissioner has the same protection and immunity as a barrister has in appearing for a party in proceedings in the Supreme Court.
(Repealed)
No criminal or civil liability (apart from this Act) attaches to a person for compliance, or purported compliance in good faith, with any requirement made under this Act.
(Repealed)
For the purposes of this section, barrister has the same meaning as in the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW).
