(1) A public service employee continues to incur no civil liability after the repeal for an act done, or omission made, honestly and without negligence in the performance or purported performance of functions under the existing Act if--
(a) the act was done or the omission was made before the repeal; or
(b) the act was done or the omission was made after the repeal in relation to a matter that was authorised to be done under this division after the repeal.
(2) If subsection (1) prevents a civil liability attaching to a public service employee, liability attaches instead to the State.
