If a corporation commits an offence against a provision of this Act, each of its executive officers also commit an offence, namely, the offence of failing to ensure that the corporation complies with the provision. Maximum penalty—the penalty for the contravention of the provision by an individual. Evidence that the corporation has been convicted of an offence against a provision of this Act is evidence that each of its executive officers committed the offence of failing to ensure that the corporation complies with the provision. However, it is a defence for an executive officer to prove that— (a) if the officer was in a position to influence the conduct of the corporation in relation to the offence—the officer took reasonable precautions and exercised due diligence to ensure the corporation complied with the provision; or (b) _ the officer was not in a position to influence the conduct of the corporation in relation to the offence. For subsection (4)(a), it is sufficient for the executive officer to prove that the act or omission that was the offence was done or made without the officer's knowledge despite the officer having taken reasonable precautions and exercised due diligence to ensure the corporation complied with the provision. In this section— executive officer, of a corporation, means a person who is concerned with or takes part in its management, whether or not the person is a director or the person's position is given the name of executive officer. 0 OAINDN PW NY NX COMI AN FPWNFK CO N — NN Wh NwWwnnwnwnn COAANADNHA ww So WWWwW BRWNF s6 7 s8 Emblems of Queensland Bill 2004 6 Prosecution of offences d) (2) An offence against this Act may be prosecuted— (a) summarily under the Justices Act 1886; and (b) on the complaint of a person authorised in writing by the Minister to make the complaint.
