CIVIL LAW (WRONGS) ACT 2002 - SECT 10

Territory may assume liability of community organisations for volunteers

    (1)     This section applies if a community organisation carries out a function that is a recognised government responsibility.

    (2)     The Minister may, by agreement with the community organisation, assume on behalf of the Territory liabilities of the organisation that arise under section 9 in carrying out the function.

    (3)     The agreement may be subject to the conditions and limitations the Minister considers appropriate.

    (4)     While the agreement is in force, a liability that would, apart from this section, attach to the community organisation in relation to the function, attaches instead (subject to the conditions and limitations of the agreement) to the Territory.

    (5)     In this section:

"recognised government responsibility" means a responsibility prescribed by regulation as a recognised government responsibility.
