Residential Services (Accreditation) Act 2002

A reprisal is a tort and a person who takes a reprisal is liable in damages to any person who suffers detriment as a result.

Any appropriate remedy that may be granted by a court for a tort may be granted by a court for the taking of a reprisal.

If the claim for damages goes to trial in the Supreme Court or the District Court, it must be decided by a judge sitting without a jury.
