Regulation 24 Liability of persons other than the principal offender
Where the commission by a person of an offence under these Regulations is due to anything which another person did or failed to do in the course of a business, that other person is guilty of the offence and may be proceeded against and punished, whether or not proceedings are taken against the first person.
Where an offence under these Regulations is committed by a body corporate and it is proved that the offence was committed—
with the consent or connivance of a relevant person; or
as a result of the negligence of a relevant person,
that person, as well as the body corporate, is guilty of the offence.
A “relevant person” means—
a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate;
in relation to a body corporate managed by its members, a member of that body performing managerial functions;
in relation to a partnership, a partner;
a person purporting to act as a person described in (a), (b) or (c).
