Section 683: Not to bear liability if separate provision is made

1) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Chapter, if a tort for which liability is to be borne under this Chapter is treated as a criminal offence under a law, or this Act or other law contains a separate provision or provides for a separate legal remedy in relation to such a tort, no liability under this Chapter may be borne.

2) Subject to sub-section (1), if the alleged tortfeasor proves that the tort for which liability is to be borne under this Chapter resulted not from his or her negligence, recklessness, fault or omission but from any other reason, he or she shall be released from the liability for such a tort.
