Protection of authorised officers acting in good faith
11.—(1) An authorised officer shall not be personally liable in respect of any act done in the execution or purported execution of these Regulations and within the scope of his employment, if, in relation to an act done by him, he did that act in the honest belief that these Regulations required or empowered him to do it.
(2) Nothing in paragraph (1) shall be construed as relieving a local authority from any liability in respect of the acts of its authorised officers.
(3) Where an action has been brought against an authorised officer in respect of an act done by him in the execution or purported execution of these Regulations and the circumstances are such that he is not legally entitled to require the local authority to indemnify him, the local authority may, nevertheless, indemnify him against the whole or part of any damages and costs, if that authority is satisfied that he honestly believed the act complained of was within the scope of his employment and that his duty under these Regulations required or entitled him to do it.
