29 Body corporate fines under penalty provision
(1) If a provision of an Act or subordinate legislation specifies a fine for
an offence but does not expressly differentiate between the fine for
a body corporate and the fine for an individual, the specified fine is
taken to be the fine for an individual.
(2) If a body corporate is found guilty of an offence referred to in
subsection (1), the court may impose a maximum fine of an amount
equal to 5 times the fine specified in the provision.
