67  Release and indemnity

 (1) If an entity settles a monetary claim, it must do so on terms that include a condition that the claimant:

 (a) signs a suitable release; and

 (b) if appropriate—provides an indemnity against any claims by third parties arising from the event that gave rise to the settlement.

 (2) Subsection (1) does not apply if:

 (a) the claimant is the Commonwealth or an entity; or

 (b) the entity is satisfied that exceptional circumstances apply to the monetary claim or settlement that justify settling on terms that do not include a suitable release or an indemnity.
