(b) relating to the sale or lease of property.

 

(2) A person who contravenes subsection (1) and a property practitioner who allows an act contemplated in subsection (1) is not entitled to any payment, remuneration, consideration or damages in respect of or by reason of any document contemplated in that subsection or for bringing about the transaction or agreement embodied in that document.

 

(3) In any proceedings in respect of sanctionable conduct, it is no defence that the principal property practitioner was not aware of the acts or omissions of the property practitioner or the candidate property practitioner.

 

(4) A principal property practitioner who conducts business from more than one business premises must supervise and control the property practitioners and candidate property practitioners in his, her or its employ, despite the fact that those property practitioners conduct their business in branch or other offices.
