Building Societies Act 1965

Miscellaneous provisions

136: General penalty for offences

You could also call this:

“Breaking rules in this law can lead to a fine”

If you break a rule in the Building Societies Act 1965 and there’s no specific punishment mentioned for that rule, you can be fined. The fine can be up to $1,000. This applies to both building societies and individuals who don’t follow the rules in the Act or any regulations made under it. You’ll only have to pay this fine if you’re found guilty of breaking the rule.
