(1) If a court finds a person guilty of an offence against this Act, the
court may, in addition to any penalty imposed for the offence,
impose a penalty not more than one-tenth of the maximum penalty
prescribed for that offence for each day during which the offence
continues after the day the offence is charged.
(2) If an offence continues after the person is found guilty of the
offence, the court may:
(a) find the person guilty of a further offence; and
(b) in addition to any penalty imposed for the further offence,
impose a penalty of not more than one-tenth of the maximum
penalty prescribed for that offence for each day during which
the offence continues after the day the person was first found
guilty.
(3) If an offence consists of an omission to do something that is
required to be done, the omission is taken to continue for as long as
the thing required to be done remains to be done after the end of
the period for compliance with the requirement.
