(1) A person of whom a help requirement has been made must comply with the requirement unless the person has a reasonable excuse.

Penalty—

Maximum penalty—200 penalty units or 1 year’s imprisonment.

(2) It is a reasonable excuse for an individual not to comply with a help requirement if complying might tend to incriminate the individual or expose the individual to a penalty.

(3) However, subsection (2) does not apply if a document or information the subject of the help requirement is required to be held or kept by the defendant under this Act or a primary Act.

Note—

See, however, section 71 .
