Part 1: Sanctions regulations Chapter 5: Miscellaneous Section 44: Protection for acts done for purposes of compliance
This section ensures that a person who may have been liable to civil proceedings as a result of compliance with the regulations contained within the Act is not liable if they reasonably believe that they were acting in compliance with regulations in place at the time. It aims to protect people from any adverse results generated by compliance (for example, a breach of a contract to supply goods that are prohibited from export by sanctions).
