24B False etc. information resulting in improper creation of certificates under Subdivision B or BA—civil penalty
A person (the first person) contravenes this subsection if:
the person provides information to another person (the second person) in relation to, or in relation to the installation of, a solar water heater or a small generation unit; and
the information:
is false or misleading in a material particular; or
omits a matter or thing without which the information is misleading in a material particular; and
the second person relies on the information to create certificates under Subdivision B or BA in relation to the solar water heater or small generation unit; and
it could reasonably be expected that the second person would so rely on the information; and
the second person’s reliance on the information results in the second person creating certificates under that Subdivision, in relation to the solar water heater or small generation unit, that the second person is not entitled to create.

A person must not:
aid, abet, counsel or procure a contravention of subsection (1); or

be in any way, directly or indirectly, knowingly concerned in, or party to, a contravention of subsection (1); or
conspire with others to effect a contravention of subsection (1).
