    Sec. 132.7. Immunity from liability.
    (a) No cause of action shall arise nor shall any liability be imposed against the Director, the Director's authorized representatives, or any examiner appointed by the Director for any statements made or conduct performed in good faith while carrying out the provisions of this Code.
    (b) No cause of action shall arise, nor shall any liability be imposed against any person for the act of communicating or delivering information or data to the Director or the Director's authorized representative or examiner in the course of an examination if the act of communication or delivery was performed in good faith and without fraudulent intent or the intent to deceive.
    (c) This Section does not abrogate or modify in any way any common law or statutory privilege or immunity heretofore enjoyed by any person identified in subsection (a).
    (d) Persons identified in subsection (a) shall be entitled to an award of attorney's fees and costs if they are a prevailing party in a civil action for libel, slander, or any other relevant tort arising out of their activities in carrying out the provisions of this Code and the party bringing the action was not substantially justified in doing so. For purposes of this Section a proceeding is "substantially justified" if it has a reasonable basis in law or fact at the time that it was initiated.
