Section 23

The obligation imposed upon a registered society by section 22

shall be binding upon every office-bearer of the registered society and upon every person managing or assisting in the management of such society in

Brunei Darussalam:

Provided that no such office-bearer and person shall be bound unless he has been served with an order made under section 22.

If a registered society fails to comply with the whole or any part of an order made under section 22, any such officer-bearer and person who has been served with that order is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000 unless he proves to the court that he has exercised due diligence and has failed to comply with that order for reasons beyond his control.

Where a notice, order or other document is served upon any person who has ceased to be an office-bearer of a registered society, he shall immediately deliver such notice, order or document to any existing office-bearer of the registered society or if unknown, shall return it to the Registrar or Assistant Registrar who sent it; and any person who fails to do is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $3,000.

If any information supplied to the Registrar in compliance with an order under section 22 is false, incorrect or incomplete in any material particular, the person who has supplied such information is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 unless he proves to the court that he has good reason to believe that the information was true, correct and complete.
