This section regarding absolute privilege is a standard provision to be found throughout the Statute Book. It is used to protect persons against defamation. In this Bill, it provides a defence for someone who makes a complaint to the registration body regarding a registered person. It also protects the board, appeals committee and inspectors in a similar manner.
