Organised Crime Act 2015 · 2020 Revised Edition · Part 5 · General Provisions Relating to Ocpo and Fro
26. Failure to comply with OCPO or FRO
Feedback & supportA person must not, without reasonable excuse, fail to comply with an OCPO or FRO.
Despite anything in the Criminal Procedure Code 2010, a person is not excused from complying with an OCPO or FRO on the ground that the supply of any information might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty.
Any person who contravenes subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction —
in the case of an individual, to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years or to both; or
in any other case, to a fine not exceeding $20,000.
In proceedings for an offence under this section, a copy of the original OCPO or FRO or any variation of it, certified as such by the proper officer of the court which made it, is admissible as evidence of its having been made and of its contents to the same extent that oral evidence of those things is admissible in those proceedings.
A person who, without reasonable excuse, includes false or misleading information pursuant to any requirement to provide information specified or described in an OCPO or FRO shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction —
in the case of an individual, to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years or to both; or
in any other case, to a fine not exceeding $20,000.
