57. If a member of the Company’s personnel is sued by a third party for an act carried out in the exercise of the functions of office, the Company assumes the person’s defence and pays any damages awarded as compensation, unless the person committed a gross fault or a personal fault separable from those functions.
In penal or criminal proceedings, however, the Company pays the defence costs of a member of its personnel only if the person is acquitted or if the Company judges that the person acted in good faith.
