110: Protection of special advocates from liability

You could also call this:

"Special advocates are protected from being blamed for their work"

Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You are protected if you are a special advocate. This means you cannot be held liable for what you do as a special advocate. However, this part of the law has been repealed, which means it is no longer in effect, as of 28 November 2023, by section 58 of the Security Information in Proceedings (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2022.
