Exclusion of liability
25 Exclusion of liability
Subject to this Act, a person is not liable in any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, for any act done in pursuance of, by reason of, or as a result of, a consent, agreement or authorisation given, or purporting to have been given, in pursuance of this Act where the act is done without negligence and in good faith.
Without limiting subsection (1), a person is regarded as having done an act referred to in subsection (1) in good faith if the person establishes that:
the person had an honest and reasonable belief that a consent, agreement or authorisation required by this Act for the doing of the act had been given; or
the person had no reason to doubt that a consent, agreement or authorisation purporting to have been given in accordance with this
Act for the doing of the act was a consent, agreement or authority given in accordance with this Act.
