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—N.I.
