# The Organic Products Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020, Regulation 27: Protection of officers etc. acting in good faith

Extent: N.I.

(1) An authorised officer or an officer or agent of a control body is not liable in any civil or criminal proceedings for anything done in the purported execution of these Regulations, the Council Regulation, Commission Regulation 889/2008 or Commission Regulation 1235/2008 if the court is satisfied that the act was done in good faith and there were reasonable grounds for doing it.
(2) But this does not relieve the competent authority, a control body or a district council from liability in respect of these acts of their officers.
