(2) The unenforceability of the trust deed of a registered business trust does not operate so as to avoid or affect any agreement, transaction or arrangement entered into by the trustee‑manager on behalf of the trust, whether the agreement, transaction or arrangement was entered into before or after the point in time when the trust deed became unenforceable. (3) The trustee‑manager of a registered business trust must make a copy of the trust deed available to the public without charge. (4) Any trustee‑manager of a registered business trust which contravenes subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $100,000 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $10,000 for every day or part of a day during which the offence continues after conviction. (5) Any trustee‑manager of a registered business trust which contravenes subsection (3) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $25,000 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $2,500 for every day or part of a day during which the offence continues after conviction.
