Protection from liability for Commissioner
19A Protection from liability for Commissioner
The Disability Services Commissioner is not personally liable for anything done or omitted to be done in good faith—
in the exercise of a power or the performance of a function under this Act; or
in the reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the exercise of a power or the performance of a function under this Act.
Any liability resulting from an act or omission that, but for subsection (1), would attach to the Disability Services Commissioner attaches instead to the State.
Nothing in this section derogates from the effect of section 132U.
