If a partnership contravenes a civil penalty provision, each partner in the partnership, at the time of the conduct constituting the contravention, is taken to have contravened the civil penalty provision unless the partner proves, on the balance of probabilities, that the partner:
(a) did not engage in the conduct; and
(b) did not aid, abet, counsel or procure the conduct; and
(c) was not in any way knowingly concerned in, or party to, the conduct (whether directly or indirectly or whether by any act or omission of the partner).
