186ZJ: No proceedings to be taken against chief executive

You could also call this:

"The chief executive is protected from court action for some decisions they make."

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You cannot take court action against the chief executive for decisions they make under certain sections of the law, such as section 186ZH, 186ZHA, 186ZI, 186ZIA, or 186ZM. You can still ask a court to review a decision made by the chief executive under the Judicial Review Procedure Act 2016. This means the chief executive is protected from court action for some decisions, but not for reviews of those decisions.
