70. If employees or board members of the Authority are sued by a third person for an act done in the exercise of their functions, the Authority assumes their defence and pays any damages awarded as compensation for the injury resulting from that act, unless they committed a gross fault or a personal fault separable from the exercise of their functions.
In penal or criminal proceedings, however, the Authority pays the defence costs of employees or board members being sued only if they were acquitted, or if it judges that they acted in good faith.
