Protection from liability
45 Protection from liability
A matter or thing done by the Commission, the Commissioner or any person acting under the direction of the Commission or Commissioner which was done in good faith for the purposes of the Commission’s inquiry or report or for the purpose of executing this or any other Act does not subject the Commissioner or the person so acting personally to any action, liability, claim or demand.
No criminal or civil liability attaches to any person for compliance or purported compliance in good faith with any requirement made under this Act.
In particular, if a person gives any statement of information or produces any document or other thing under section 5 or 6, no civil liability attaches to the person for doing so, whether that liability would arise under a contract or otherwise.
Any protection or immunity afforded by the 1968 Act and any protection existing apart from that Act and this section apply to any matter or thing done by the Commission, the Commissioner or any person acting under the direction of the Commission or Commissioner as if the matter or thing were done under that Act.
