Failure to comply with direction
86 Failure to comply with direction
A person given a direction under section 47, 67, 70, 71 or 75(1)(i) must comply with the direction.
Penalty:
imprisonment for 12 months or a fine of $50 000;
for each separate and further offence committed by the person under the Interpretation Act 1984 section 71, a fine of $5 000.
A person must comply with a direction referred to in subsection (1) despite the provisions of any other written law, and the person does not commit an offence by reason of that compliance.
It is a defence to a charge of an offence under subsection (1) for the person to prove that the person had a reasonable excuse for failing to comply with the direction.
