Does good faith immunity apply to a defendant in a civil case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Olagues v. Russoniello, 797 F.2d 1511 (9th Cir. 1986):
8 The district court erroneously applied the good faith immunity standard of Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982), to grant summary judgment on the entire case. Qualified immunity, however, is only a defense to damages and does not bar equitable relief. Wood v. Strickland, 420 U.S. 308, 314 n. 6, 95 S.Ct. 992, 997 n. 6, 43 L.Ed.2d 214 (1975).
