Building Act 1993

Where a corporation contravenes, whether by act or omission, a provision of this Act or the Regulations, each person being a director of the corporation or a person concerned in the management of the corporation is taken to have contravened the same provision unless the person proves that he or she had no knowledge of the commission of the offence and could not, by the exercise of due diligence, have prevented the commission of the offence.

A person may be proceeded against and found guilty pursuant to this section whether or not the corporation has been proceeded against or been found guilty.

Nothing in this section affects the liability imposed on a corporation for an offence committed by the corporation against this

Without limiting any other law or practice relating to the admissibility of evidence, evidence that an officer, employee or agent of a corporation (while acting in his or her capacity as such) had at a particular time, a particular intention, is evidence that the corporation had that intention at that time.
