Assertion of Governmental Immunity Clause Samples
The Assertion of Governmental Immunity clause establishes that a governmental entity retains its legal immunity from certain lawsuits or liabilities, even when entering into a contract. In practice, this means that the government does not waive its sovereign immunity simply by signing an agreement, and parties cannot sue the government for damages or enforcement beyond what is expressly permitted by law. This clause serves to protect public entities from unintended legal exposure and ensures that their statutory immunities remain intact, thereby limiting the risk of litigation against the government.
