Section 151CHCompetition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)

Treatment of partnerships

This Part applies to a partnership as if the partnership was a person, but it applies with the following changes:

(a) obligations that would be imposed on the partnership are imposed instead on each partner, but may be discharged by any of the partners;

(b) any offence against this Part that would otherwise be committed by the partnership is taken to have been committed by each partner who:

(i) aided, abetted, counselled or procured the relevant act or omission; or

(ii) was in any way knowingly concerned in, or party to, the relevant act or omission (whether directly or indirectly and whether by any act or omission of the partner).
