Accommodation Providers Act 1981

An accommodation provider is not liable, in his capacity as an accommodation provider, for loss of, whether by theft or otherwise, or damage to, property of a guest if the accommodation provider establishes:

that the loss or damage was due to the misconduct or negligence of the guest or his servant or a person accompanying the guest or an act of God or the Crown's enemies; or

that the guest had assumed exclusive charge and custody of the room in which the property was at the time of the loss or damage.
