Amendments made: 74, clause 231, page 155, line 30, after “under” insert “subsection (1), (2), (3), (6) or (7) of”.

This amendment ensures that the imposition of liability on another person does not apply in relation to an offence under clause 229(4) (offence of engaging in an unfair commercial practice which involves a contravention of the requirements of professional diligence). This replicates the current position under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.
