Protection and liability of commissioner

    (1)     A person who holds, or has held, the office of commissioner is not liable, personally, to an action or other proceeding for or in relation to an act done or omitted to be done in good faith in exercise or purported exercise of any function given to the person as the holder of that office.

    (2)     If, by an act or omission of the commissioner or another person acting or purporting to act in good faith for the commissioner, a person sustains a loss or injury that would have entitled that person to a remedy in relation to the loss or injury if the act or omission were an act or omission of an individual—

        (a)     the person sustaining the loss or injury is entitled to the same remedy against the commissioner in the corporate capacity of the commissioner as the person would have been entitled to against an individual; and

        (b)     the liability of the commissioner shall be discharged by the Territory.
