Integrity Act 2009

This section applies if a designated person—

asks under section 15 for the integrity commissioner’s advice on a conflict of interest issue involving the designated person; and

discloses all relevant information in relation to the issue to the integrity commissioner when seeking the advice; and

does an act to resolve the conflict substantially in accordance with the integrity commissioner’s advice on the issue.

The designated person is not liable in a civil proceeding or under an administrative process for the act taken by the person to resolve the conflict.

To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection (2) does not affect the designated person’s liability for an act or omission done or made in connection with the conflict of interest issue before the person receives the integrity commissioner’s advice.
