Not in force
177. The answers given by a person in the course of risk management activities, including any information or document provided in good faith by the person in response to a request of a risk manager or a risk management committee, may not be used or be admitted as evidence against the person or against any other person in a judicial proceeding or a proceeding before a person or body exercising adjudicative functions.
Despite any inconsistent provision, a risk manager or a member of a risk management committee may not be compelled to testify in a judicial proceeding or a proceeding before a person or body exercising adjudicative functions concerning any confidential information obtained in the exercise of their functions, or to produce a document containing such information, except to confirm its confidential nature.
Nothing contained in a risk management record, including the conclusions with reasons and, if applicable, any recommendations accompanying them, may be construed as a declaration, recognition or extrajudicial admission of professional, administrative or other misconduct that could give rise to the civil liability of a party in a judicial proceeding.
