Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies to proceedings in relation to liability for breach of duty arising out of damage to a vehicle that happens when a person exercises power, or assists another person exercising power, under this chapter in relation to the seizure, removal or storage of a vehicle.

The person, or a person assisting the person, is not civilly liable—

because of the paramount or high degree of importance the person gave to moving the vehicle off the road, road-related area or public place quickly; or

to the extent there was an increased likelihood that a vehicle would be damaged in the exercise of power mentioned in subsection (1) because of the nature of the power.
