Legal rights not affected
19 Legal rights not affected
Nothing in Part 2 of this Act gives rise to, or can be taken into account in, any civil cause of action.
Without limiting subclause (1), nothing in that Part—
operates to create in any person any legal rights not in existence before the enactment of Part 2 of the Victims Rights Act 1996, or
affects the validity, or provides grounds for review, of any judicial or administrative act or omission.
However, this clause does not prevent a contravention of Part 2 of this Act from being the subject of disciplinary proceedings against an official or a complaint to the Commissioner under section 10.
