CASINO CONTROL ACT 1984 - SECT 10

10 .         Protection from liability for Commission and its officers

        (1)         An action in tort does not lie against a person who is an officer of the Commission for anything that the person has, in good faith, done in the performance or purported performance of a function under this Act or any other Act or a casino complex agreement.

        (2)         If this section provides that an action does not lie against a person for doing anything, the Crown is also relieved of any liability that it might otherwise have for the doing of the thing by the person.

        (3)         The protection given by this section applies even though the thing done in the performance or purported performance of a function under this Act or any other Act or a casino complex agreement may have been capable of being done whether or not, as the case requires —

            (a)         this Act or any other Act had been enacted; or

            (b)         the casino complex agreement had been entered into.

        (4)         In this section —

            (a)         a reference to the doing of anything includes a reference to the omission to do anything; and

            (b)         a reference to the performance of a function includes a reference to the performance of a duty and the exercise of a power.

        [Section 10 inserted by No. 24 of 1998 s. 7.]
