Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts (1)
The Commonwealth is, by force of this subsection, liable to indemnify
the Official Trustee against any personal liability (including any personal
liability as to costs) incurred by it for any act done, or omitted to be done,
by it in the exercise, or purported exercise, of its powers and duties under
this Act.
(2)
Nothing in subsection (1) affects:
(a) any right that the Official Trustee has, apart from that
subsection, to be indemnified in respect of any personal liability referred to
in that subsection; or
(b) any other indemnity given to the Official Trustee in respect of any
such personal liability.
(3)
Where the Commonwealth makes a payment in accordance with the indemnity
referred to in subsection (1), the Commonwealth has the same right of
reimbursement in respect of the payment (including reimbursement under another
indemnity given to the Official Trustee) as the Official Trustee would have if
the Official Trustee had made the payment.
