RETURN TO WORK ACT 2014 (NO 16 OF 2014) - SECT 80

80—Defence of voluntary assumption of risk

The defence of voluntary assumption of risk ( volenti non fit injuria ) is not available in an action for the award of damages in a case where this Part applies but, where that defence would otherwise have been available, the amount of any damages is to be reduced to such extent as is just and equitable on the presumption that the injured or deceased person was negligent in failing to take sufficient care for his or her own safety.
