8Protection of volunteers from liability

8 Protection of volunteers from liability (1) A volunteer does not incur personal civil liability for an act done or omission made honestly and without recklessness while carrying out community work for a community organisation on a voluntary basis. (2) However, the protection does not apply if— (a) the liability falls within the ambit of a scheme of compulsory third-party motor vehicle insurance; or (b) the liability is for defamation; or (c) the volunteer’s capacity to carry out the work properly was, at the relevant time, significantly impaired by a recreational drug; or (d) the volunteer was acting, and knew or ought to have known that he or she was acting— (i) outside the scope of the activities authorised by the community organisation; or (ii) contrary to instructions given by the community organisation.
