Duty of procurer
16 Duty of procurer
A procurer of a bus service must, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure the safety of the bus service.
- In the case of a natural person, 1800 penalty units;
In the case of a body corporate, 9000 penalty units.
Without limiting subsection (1), a procurer of a bus service contravenes that subsection if the bus service is procured on terms that impose conditions or obligations which prevent or threaten, or are reasonably likely to prevent or threaten, the safe operation of the bus service.
A person is not a procurer of a bus service only because the person provides funding to the operator of the bus service.
An offence against subsection (1) is an indictable offence.
Note to s. 16(4) amended by No. 68/2009 s. 97(Sch. item 14.7).
