Wrongs Act 1958

In a civil proceeding where the death or injury of a person is in issue or is relevant to an issue of fact or law and it is alleged that the death or injury occurred as a consequence of the provision of a service, a reduction or waiver of the fees payable for the service or a related service does not constitute—

an admission of liability for the death or injury; or

an admission of unprofessional conduct, carelessness, incompetence or unsatisfactory professional performance, however expressed, for the purposes of any Act regulating the practice or conduct of a profession or occupation.

Subsection (1) applies whether the reduction or waiver of fees—

is made orally or in writing; or

is made before or after the civil proceeding was in contemplation or commenced.

Nothing in this section affects the admissibility of a statement with respect to a fact in issue or tending to establish a fact in issue.
