Under which condition are commission members not liable in damages?

Commission members are not liable in damages in the absence of fraud or bad faith. This principle is grounded in the understanding that individuals serving on a commission are acting in a capacity that protects them from personal liability, provided their actions are not fraudulent and do not involve any dishonest or malicious intent.

In many legal frameworks, the concept of liability is closely tied to the intent and actions of the individual in question. If the commission members are acting within the scope of their duties and their intentions are honest, it shields them from repercussions that could arise from the decisions they make or the actions they take. This provision allows members to function effectively without the constant fear of litigation, encouraging them to fulfill their roles and responsibilities diligently.

Other options describe scenarios that may not provide the same legal protection, such as actions taken with good intentions alone, the need for prior approval, or the nature of the decisions being major or minor. None of these factors alone establishes a blanket exemption from liability like the clearly defined provisions against fraud or bad faith do.
