Where a document is electronically filed with the Registrar or licensing officer, the Registrar or licensing officer shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by any person by reason of any error or omission of whatever nature or however arising appearing in any document obtained by any person under the service referred to in subsection (1), if such error or omission was made in good faith and in the ordinary course of the discharge of the duties of the Registrar or licensing officer or occurred or arose as a result of any defect or breakdown in the service or in the equipment used for the provision of the service.
