206G Court’s power of disqualification: repeated contraventions of law
In this section —
co‑operatives legislation means this Act or a corresponding co‑operatives law.
On application by the Registrar, the Supreme Court may disqualify a person from managing co‑operatives for the period that the court considers appropriate if —
the person —
has at least twice been an officer of a co‑operative that has contravened co‑operatives legislation while they were an officer of the co‑operative and each time the person has failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the contravention; or
has at least twice contravened co‑operatives legislation while they were an officer of a co‑operative; or
has been an officer of a body corporate and has done something that would have contravened section 207 or 208 if the body corporate had been a co‑operative;
and
the court is satisfied that the disqualification is justified.
In determining whether the disqualification is justified, the Supreme Court may have regard to —
the person’s conduct in relation to the management, business or property of any entity; and
any other matters that the court considers appropriate.
