What is the maximum penalty for an individual convicted of an offence under the CPA?

  1. A fine of up to $100,000

  2. A maximum of two years in jail and/or a fine of up to $50,000

  3. A maximum of two years less a day in jail and/or a fine of up to $50,000

  4. A maximum of one year in jail and/or a fine of up to $50,000

The correct answer is: A maximum of two years less a day in jail and/or a fine of up to $50,000

The maximum penalty for an individual convicted of an offence under the CPA is a combination of a maximum sentence of two years less a day in jail and a fine of up to $50,000. Option A is incorrect because the maximum fine is actually $50,000, not $100,000. Option B is incorrect because it states a maximum of two years in jail rather than two years less a day. Similarly, option D is incorrect because it only mentions a maximum of one year in jail. It is important to note that the fines listed in the options are maximum amounts and a convicted individual may receive a lesser fine based on the severity of the offence.
