24 What is the reasonable steps defence
If a provision states that a person has the benefit of the reasonable steps defence for an offence, it is a defence to a charge for the offence for the person to prove that: (a) the person had taken all reasonable steps to prevent the contravention concerned; or (b) the person could not reasonably be expected to have taken any steps to prevent the contravention concerned.
Note: Section 23 explains what reasonable steps are.
