I move amendment No. 4:

In page 5, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:"Offence of failure to notify

5. (1) A vehicle insurer who fails to notify the Minister in accordance with section 4* or who notifies information to the Minister knowing it to be false or misleading commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a class A fine.

(2) Where an offence under this section is committed by a body corporate and is proven to have been so committed with the consent, connivance or approval of, or to have been attributable to the wilful neglect on the part of, any person, being a director, manager, secretary or other officer of the body corporate or a person who was purporting to act in any such capacity, that person, as well as the body corporate, commits an offence and is liable to be proceeded against and punished as if he or she were guilty of the first-mentioned offence.

(3) Where the affairs of a body corporate are managed by its members, subsection (2) applies in relation to the acts and defaults of a member in connection with his or her functions of management as if he or she were a director or manager of the body corporate.".
