120 Act or omission of offender performing community service work

(1) No act or omission of an offender by whom community service work is performed gives rise to civil liability on the part of any person involved in that work if the act or omission occurs in the course of that work.

(2) A civil action that would, but for subsection (1), lie against a person involved in community service work lies instead against the Crown.

(3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not have effect if the act or omission concerned was, or was a necessary part of, an act or omission that was expressly required by the person involved in that work but neither approved nor required by the Commissioner.
