REGISTRAR-GENERAL ACT 1993 (NO. 63 OF 1993) - SECT 8

Liability of Registrar-General and other officers

8. (1) A person—

        (a)     who holds, or has held, the office of Registrar-General; or

        (b)     who is, or has been Deputy Registrar-General or an acting Registrar-General;

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 performance or purported performance of any function, or in exercise or purported exercise of any power or authority, conferred on the person in that capacity.

(2) Where, by act or omission of the Registrar-General or another person acting or purporting to act in good faith for the Registrar-General, a person sustains a loss or injury that would have entitled that person to a remedy in respect of the loss or injury if the act or omission were an act or omission of a natural person—

        (a)     the person sustaining the loss or injury is entitled to the same remedy against the Registrar-General in the corporate capacity of the Registrar-General as the person would have been entitled to against a natural person; and

        (b)     the liability of the Registrar-General shall be discharged by the Territory.
