            (a)         a practice on his or her own account; or

            (b)         a partnership in which all of the partners are medical practitioners,

                the business must give the Board written notice of the particulars prescribed by the regulations.

        Penalty: a fine of $1 000.

        Penalty: a fine of $1 000.

        (3)         If the business is a partnership, this section applies to the partnership as if the partnership were a person, but any offence against this section that would otherwise be an offence by a partnership is to be taken to have been committed by each of the partners.
