Paragraph 7
Where an industrial assurance company is charged with a contravention of paragraph 2 in respect of the payment by the company of a sum which exceeded the limit of £30 imposed by paragraph 2(2)( b) or ( c) in consequence of the addition as thereby required of another sum paid by another industrial assurance company or by a registered friendly society, or two or more other sums so paid, and which would not have exceeded the limit apart from that addition, it shall be a defence for the company charged to prove that—
the sum in respect of which the company is charged was paid in accordance with paragraph 5; and
the certificate produced disclosed no payment by any other industrial assurance company or by a registered friendly society of any sum or sums required by the said paragraph 2(2)( b) or ( c) to be added, or disclosed such payment but only to an amount insufficient to cause the sum in respect of which the company is charged to exceed that limit;
subject, however, in the case of a certificate which is a duplicate, to the provisions of paragraph 9.
