Victorian Current Acts Victorian Current ActsFor the purposes of proceedings relating to a claim arising out of a failure to exercise a road management function, if a person has a duty in relation to a matter and another person has a discretionary power to take remedial action in relation to that matter, only the person with the duty is liable in the proceedings.
Example
If particular infrastructure is not maintained in a safe condition and the relevant infrastructure manager has breached a duty to maintain that infrastructure under clause 6 of Schedule 7, the infrastructure manager would be liable in the proceedings not the coordinating road authority having a discretionary power to require that infrastructure manager to take remedial action.
