18 Officers or partners of persons to whom scheme applies
18 Officers or partners of persons to whom scheme applies
(1) If a scheme applies to a body corporate, the scheme also applies to each officer of the body corporate.
(2) If a scheme applies to a person, the scheme also applies to each partner of the person.
(3) However, if an officer of a body corporate or a partner of a person is entitled to be a member of the same occupational association as the body corporate or person, but is not a member, the scheme does not apply to that officer or partner.
(4) In this section:
officer:
(a) in relation to a body corporate that is a corporation within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth, has the same meaning as in that Act, and
(b) in relation to a body corporate that is not a corporation within the meaning of that Act, means any person (by whatever name called) who is concerned in or takes part in the management of the body corporate.
