80 Civil penalty provision for non‑compliance with obligations

(1) A person contravenes this subsection if: (a) the person is an accountable entity; and (b) the person is subject to an obligation under Chapter 2; and (c) the person fails to comply with the obligation.

Note: It is generally not necessary to prove a person’s state of mind in proceedings for a contravention of a civil penalty provision (see section 94 of the Regulatory Powers Act, which applies because of section 82 of this Act).

(2) A person is liable to a civil penalty if the person contravenes subsection (1).
