106  Liability of consignee—knowledge of matters relating to container weight declaration
  Without limiting section 96 (Liability of consignee), a consignee of goods is taken to have intended the result referred to in section 96(1)(b) if:
 (a) the conduct concerned related to a freight container; and
 (b) the person knew or ought reasonably to have known that:
 (i) a container weight declaration for the container was not provided as required by this Act; or
 (ii) a container weight declaration provided for the container contained information about the weight of the container and its contents that was false or misleading in a material particular.
Note: Section 96(1) provides that a person who is a consignee of goods consigned for road transport is guilty of an offence if the person engages in conduct that results or is likely to result in inducing or rewarding a breach of a relevant mass, dimension or load restraint requirement and the person intends that result.
