Document background
The Legal Waiver of Liability is a crucial document used in Ireland to manage risk and liability exposure in various business and recreational activities. It serves as a protective measure for organizations while ensuring transparency about risks for participants. The document must be drafted in compliance with Irish legislation, particularly the Civil Liability Act 1961, Consumer Protection Act 2007, and relevant EU regulations. It typically includes specific sections addressing risk acknowledgment, liability limitations, and mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived. The waiver is commonly used in sports facilities, adventure activities, professional services, and educational programs where participants need to acknowledge and accept certain inherent risks. However, it's important to note that under Irish law, certain rights and protections cannot be waived, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
