(2) A person may be proceeded against (and, in the case of an offence, convicted) under a provision in accordance with subsection (1) whether or not the body corporate has been proceeded against under that provision.
(3) Nothing in this section affects any liability imposed on a body corporate for a contravention of a civil penalty requirement or a provision of this Act or relevant legislation by the body corporate.
