Persons to comply with requirements of APRA or the inspector
62D Persons to comply with requirements of APRA or the inspector
A person commits an offence if:
a requirement of APRA or the inspector under section 62C is applicable to the person; and
the person refuses or fails to comply with the requirement to the extent to which the person is able to comply with it.
Penalty: 50 penalty units or imprisonment for 3 months, or both.
A person is not excused from complying with a requirement under section 62C on the ground that doing so might tend to incriminate the person.
However, if the person is:
an individual; and
is required to answer questions under section 62C; and
before answering the questions, the person informs APRA or the inspector that doing so might tend to incriminate him or her;
the questions or answers are not admissible in evidence against him or her in criminal proceedings other than a prosecution for:
an offence against subsection (1); or
an offence against section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code that relates to this section.
