This section is subject to section 96G.
In this section—plantation official means—
a plantation officer; or
an employee of a plantation licensee; or
a person acting, on a voluntary basis (irrespective of whether the person receives out-of-pocket expenses), under the direction of a person mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b).
