My problem concerns Head 5, which reads:

A person commits a prescribed contravention for the purposes of Part IIIC of the Central Bank Act 1942 where all of the following are satisfied: (a) the person is performing, or has at any time performed, a senior executive function in relation to a regulated financial service provider,

(b) there has at that time been (or continued to be) a prescribed contravention by the regulated financial service provider.

That last line ties the individual to the firm. I am not coming from a legal point of view but I presume there is a defence in this instance that it must be proved there was a contravention by the regulated financial service provider before it can be said that person is, therefore, responsible.
