inserts new subsections into section 113D into the Sentencing Act 1991. It sets a maximum fine of 2500 penalty units for a body corporate, subject to any contrary intention in any Act other than this Bill. This takes the same approach as discussed in relation to clause 380. The higher maximum financial penalty reflects the fact that other forms of penalty cannot be imposed on a body corporate. This is also consistent with the approach in section 113D of the Sentencing Act 1991 which provides that, in the absence of a contrary intention, a court may impose a fine on a body corporate that is up to five times the amount that the court could impose on a natural person.
