64A—Administrators, controllers and liquidators

        (1)         If an administrator, controller or liquidator of the licensee assumes control over the casino business for a period (the "period of administration") that person—

            (a)         stands in the position of the licensee for the period of administration; and

            (b)         is liable for the casino duty and other liabilities to the Crown accruing during the period of administration; and

            (c)         is subject to this Act, and liable to direction and control under this Act, in the same way as if the person were the licensee; and

            (d)         if charged with an offence against this Act, is entitled to a defence on proof that the offence was not committed intentionally and did not arise from the defendant's failure to take reasonable care to avoid the commission of the offence.
