You could also call this:

"Council members are not personally responsible for the Council's mistakes if they act honestly."

If you are a member of the New Zealand Fish and Game Council, you are not personally responsible for any mistakes the Council makes. This is as long as the Council and its members are acting in good faith, meaning they are trying to do the right thing. You are protected from being personally liable for any errors made by the Council during its operations.
