Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Bill 2002: Second Stage.
The new section 33AJ(2) provides that the Central Bank, the ISFRA and their staff, members and agents are excluded from liability arising from civil suits brought in the context of anything done in the performance of their functions or powers unless an act or omission was in bad faith. Where wilful misconduct or gross negligence occurs, the exclusion from liability appears to apply, which is a point that should be examined.
