In this section —
protected officer means —
the sheriff; and
a deputy sheriff; and
a bailiff or an assistant bailiff within the declared areas.
In this section, a reference to the doing of anything includes a reference to an omission to do anything.
A civil action does not lie against a protected officer for anything that he or she has done, in good faith, in the performance or purported performance of a function under this Act or under an order made under this Act.
The Crown is also relieved of any liability that it might otherwise have had for another person having done anything as described in subsection (3).
The protection given by this section applies even though the thing done as described in subsection (3) may have been capable of being done whether or not this Act had been enacted.
