Section 25: Access prohibitions: exemption from liability
This section exempts law enforcement officers, and the relevant law enforcement agency, from liability for damages as a result of anything done (for example, damage to property), or not done (for example, failure to fix a leak), in the exercise of powers under section 23. The exemption from liability does not apply where the act or omission was in bad faith or was unlawful by virtue of section 6(1) of the Human Rights Act 1998 (that is, acting in a way that is incompatible with the Convention rights).
