80.This section provides protection for the Commission and its members and employees from liability in damages from anything done in the discharge of the Commission’s functions. This will ensure that they will not have to act in an unduly defensive way. The exemption does not apply however where an individual acts in bad faith, and it will not prevent an award of damages being made under the Human Rights Act 1998.
Text created by the Scottish Government to explain what the Act sets out to achieve and to make the Act accessible to readers who are not legally qualified. Explanatory Notes were introduced in 1999 and accompany all Acts of the Scottish Parliament except those which result from Budget Bills.
