(3) An offence against Chapter 7 of the Criminal Code in relation to this Act that would otherwise have been committed by the partnership is taken to have been committed by each partner in the partnership, at the time the offence was committed, who: (a) did the relevant act or made the relevant omission; or (b) aided, abetted, counselled or procured the relevant act or omission; or (c) was in any way knowingly concerned in, or party to, the relevant act or omission (whether directly or indirectly and whether by any act or omission of the partner). (4) For the purposes of this Act, a change in the composition of a partnership does not affect the continuity of the partnership. (5) A reference in this section to this Act includes a reference to the rules.
