195 Matters for which there is no entitlement to compensation
(1) A person is not entitled to compensation from the Territory for
deprivation, loss or damage:
(a) because of a breach of a trust or fiduciary duty (whether
express, implied or constructive) including a breach of duty
arising in the administration of the estate of a deceased
person;
(b) if the person, a person acting as agent for the person, or an
indemnified person acting or purporting to act for the person,
caused or substantially contributed to the deprivation, loss or
damage by fraud, neglect or wilful default, including, for
example, failure to take reasonable steps in response to a
notice that the Registrar-General intended to create a new
indefeasible title for the relevant lot;

(c) suffered by a corporation through the improper use of its seal
or by an act of an authorised signatory of the corporation who
exceeds the signatory's authority;
(d) caused when the Registrar-General corrected an indefeasible
title that mistakenly included the person's land, unless the
person suffered loss or damage under section 193(1)(d);
(e) if the loss, damage or deprivation arises out of a matter about
which the Registrar-General is by an Act or law, either
expressly or by necessary implication, excused from inquiring;
or
(f) because of the Registrar-General lodging a caveat under
section 18.
(2) In this section, indemnified person means a legal practitioner,
conveyancing agent or real estate agent covered by indemnity
insurance (however described) under the Legal Profession
