Civil Liability Act 2002

This Act does not create or confer any cause of civil action for the recovery of damages.

A provision of this Act that gives protection from civil liability does not limit the protection from liability given by another provision of this Act or by another Act or law.

This Act, other than Part 7, does not prevent the parties to a contract from making express provision for their rights, obligations and liabilities under the contract in relation to any matter to which this Act applies and does not limit or otherwise affect the operation of such an express provision.

Subsection (3) extends to any provision of this Act even if the provision applies to liability in contract.

This Act is not a codification of the law relating to civil claims for damages for harm.
