Liability of officers of body corporate
93 Liability of officers of body corporate
If a body corporate contravenes a provision of this Act, a person who is an officer of the body corporate is—
subject to the general defence under this Part, guilty of a contravention of this Act; and
subject to subsection (2), liable to the same penalty as may be imposed for the principal contravention when committed by an individual.
If an officer of a body corporate is convicted of an offence under subsection (1), the officer is not liable to be punished by imprisonment for the offence.
If a body corporate contravenes a provision of this Act, an officer of the body corporate who knowingly promoted or acquiesced in the contravention is also guilty of contravening that provision.
An officer of a body corporate may be prosecuted and convicted of an offence pursuant to subsection (1) or (3) whether or not there has been a finding by a court that the body corporate committed the contravention.
