Funerals Act 2006

Subject to subsection (2), the Minister must pay compensation for any damage caused by an inspector, or a person assisting an inspector, in exercising or purporting to exercise any power conferred by this Act.

The Minister is not liable to pay compensation for any damage caused during any inspection that reveals that there has been a contravention of this Act.

In determining the amount of compensation payable in relation to any damage caused to electronic equipment, regard is to be had to whether the occupier of the premises and the employees and agents of the occupier, if they were available at the time, had provided any warning or guidance as to the operation of the equipment that was appropriate in the circumstances.
