Default penalty
28 Default penalty
Where in or at the foot of any section or part of a section there appears the expression “Default penalty” it indicates that any person who is convicted of an offence against this Act in relation to that section or part is guilty of a further offence against this Act if the offence continues after he is so convicted and liable to an additional penalty for each day during which the offence so continues of not more than $20.
Where an offence is committed by a person by reason of his failure to comply with a provision of this Act by or under which he is required or directed to do anything within a particular period that offence, for the purpose of subsection (1), shall be deemed to continue so long as the thing so required or directed to be done by him remains undone notwithstanding that the period has elapsed.
Notwithstanding anything contained in any Act, proceedings for any offence against this Act may be brought within the period of 3 years after the commission of the alleged offence or, with the consent of the Minister, at any later time but in any case not more than 3 years after the change‑over day.
