Summary

services on behalf of the authority without the risk of personal
liabilities where they have acted properly, is fundamental to
the effective operation of the authority. Following the publication

explains what indemnities can be given, what restrictions can
apply, and goes on at Appendix 1 to suggest a form of indemnity
which could be adopted by the Authority.
