Civil Liability Act 2002

A community organisation incurs the civil liability that, but for the operation of section 47(1), a volunteer would incur for a thing done by the volunteer when doing community work organised by the community organisation.

The operation of subsection (1) is subject to any protection from liability that would have applied to the community organisation if the thing done by the volunteer had been done by the community organisation.

If more than one community organisation is involved in organising the community work referred to in subsection (1), that subsection applies to the community organisation that principally organises, or the community organisations that principally organise, that work.
