You are protected if you act under the Animal Welfare Act 1999. If you are an inspector, auxiliary officer, or helping an inspector or constable, you will not be personally liable for your actions. This means you will not be held responsible if you do something or do not do something in good faith while carrying out your duties. You will not be liable if you make a mistake while doing your job. Instead, the Crown will be liable if something goes wrong. This applies to inspectors, auxiliary officers, and people helping them. If someone sues, they will sue the Crown, not you. This is because the law protects people who act under its authority in good faith. The law says that if you do something wrong while trying to do your job, the Crown is responsible, not you.
