Duty of Care

I have a duty of care every time I perform my tasks as a JP.  A duty of care means I have a legal obligation to take reasonable care to avoid my clients actions or omissions causing harm to another person.

According the JP Handbook issued by the Department of Communities and Justice, to fulfill any duty of care I must:

  •  Complete the steps that are required by law, honestly and carefully  This includes following any instruction in the document and, for affidavits and statutory declarations, certifying that I have confirmed the persons identity.
  • Take any additional steps which are reasonable in the circumstances, such as seeking advice when I may be unsure about the specific requirements
  • I cannot give any legal advise at any stage but may be able to suggest how a person can satisfy their legal requirements
