Compliance with information direction
40G Compliance with information direction
(1) A person must not without reasonable excuse fail to comply with an
information direction given to the person.
Maximum penalty: 500 penalty units
in the case of a corporation and 100 penalty units in any other case.
(2) A
person must not in purported compliance with an information direction given to
the person provide information that the person knows is false or misleading in
a material particular.
Maximum penalty: 500 penalty units in the case of a
corporation and 100 penalty units in any other case.
(3) Compliance with an
information direction is required even if compliance would breach a duty of
confidentiality. A duty of confidentiality is not a reasonable excuse for
failure to comply with an information direction.
(4) The provision of
information that would otherwise constitute a breach of a duty of
confidentiality does not constitute such a breach if the information is
provided in compliance with an information direction.
