452: Reviewer’s protection from liability

You could also call this:

"Reviewers are protected from getting in trouble if they do their job honestly"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

If you are a reviewer, you are protected from being liable for things you do as part of your job under the Civil Aviation Act 2023. You will not get in trouble if you do something in good faith, which means you honestly believe you are doing the right thing. This protection applies to both civil and criminal liability, which means you cannot be sued or charged with a crime for doing your job honestly.
