Limitation of liability for property damage

(1) The Government of Belize, its shelter managers, shelter officers or any other Government employees or agent shall not be liable for accidental or negligent loss or damage to luggage or other property brought into the shelter by a person seeking shelter. (2) The shelter manager shall have a notice containing the terms of subparagraph (1) affixed to the shelter in a place where it can be seen by persons entering the shelter premises, and shall take such other steps as may be necessary to ensure that persons entering the shelter are aware of the provisions of that subparagraph. (3) Where the limitation of liability under subparagraph (1) has not been brought to the notice of a person who has been admitted to the shelter until after such admission, the limitation of liability under that subparagraph applies with effect from twenty-four hours (not including any time falling within a period of a disaster emergency) after the notice has been brought to the attention of that person. 14 (4) Nothing in these By-laws creates liability on the Government of Belize, any shelter manager or officer or owner or occupier of a shelter which would not exist at common law.
