What are the maximum penalties for violations under the Act?

• A. Up to $25,000.
• B. Up to $5,000.
• C. Up to $100,000.
• D. Up to $50,000.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is understanding how the Act sets financial penalties for violations. For ordinary offences under the Act, the maximum fine you can face for a single violation is $25,000. This ceiling is the standard penalty level designed to deter non-compliance while remaining proportionate to typical breaches, such as licensing or record-keeping violations. The other dollar amounts don’t reflect this general cap. There can be different penalties in specific provisions or for corporate offenders, but the standard maximum for general violations is $25,000.
