c. 36
Aviation Security Act 1982
(4) A direction (except in so far as it requires any building or other works to be constructed, executed, altered, demolished or removed) shall not be construed as requiring or authorising the operator of any aircraft, or the manager of any aerodrome, or any person acting as the servant or agent of such an operator or manager, to do anything which, apart from the direction, would constitute an act of violence; but nothing in this subsection shall restrict the use of such force as is reasonable in the circumstances (whether at the instance of such an operator or manager or otherwise) by a constable, or its use by any other person in the exercise of a power conferred by section 7(1) or 13(3) of this Act or by any of the following provisions of this Act.
(5) In so far as a direction requires anything to be done or not done at a place outside the United Kingdom-
(a) it shall not have effect except in relation to aircraft
registered in the United Kingdom, and
(b) it shall not have effect so as to require anything to be done or not done in contravention of any provision of the law (whether civil or criminal) in force at that place, other than any such provision relating to breach of contract.
(6) In so far as a direction given to the manager of an aero- drome requires any building or other works to be constructed, executed, altered, demolished or removed on land outside the aerodrome, or requires any other measures to be taken on such land, the direction shall not confer on the manager of the aero- drome any rights as against a person having-
(a) an interest in that land, or
(b) a right to occupy that land, or
(c) a right restrictive of its use;
and accordingly the direction shall not be construed as requiring the manager of the aerodrome to do anything which would be actionable at the suit or instance of such a person in his capacity as a person having that interest or right.
(7) Nothing in this section shall be construed as derogating from any exemption or immunity of the Crown in relation to the provisions of this Part of this Act.
