Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Where a licence is
issued for the purposes of a partnership each partner has the same rights and
duties as a licensee, whether or not the partner is named on the licence.
(2) If a licence is
issued in respect of a partnership and any of the partners commits an offence
under this Act (other than an offence under Part 3 that is unrelated to the
activity authorised by the licence) every person who was a partner at the time
the offence was committed, commits an offence.

a charge arising by operation of subsection (2) for a person to prove that
—
(a) the
offence was committed without the person’s consent or connivance; and
(b) the
person exercised all such due diligence to prevent the commission of the
offence as the person ought to have exercised having regard to the
person’s functions and to all the circumstances.
