ELECTRICITY SUPPLY (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1972 - SECT 46

46.(1) An officer of the Service shall not be personally liable in respect of
any act done by him in the execution of any function of the Service and within
the scope of his employment if he acted reasonably and in the honest belief
that his duty required or empowered him to do it; but nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed as relieving the Service of any liability in
respect of acts of its officers.

(2) Where an action has been brought against an officer of the Service in
respect of an act done by him in the execution or purported execution of any
such function and the circumstances are such that he is not legally entitled
to require the Service to indemnify him, the Service may nevertheless
indemnify him against the whole or a part of any damages or costs which he may
have been ordered to pay or may have incurred, if the Service is satisfied
that he honestly believed that the act complained of was within the scope of
his employment and that his duty required or empowered him to do it.
