Regulation 11 Liability of persons other than the principal offender
United Kingdom
Where the commission by a person of an offence under regulation 8 is due to anything that 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 a body corporate or a Scottish partnership commits an offence 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 a body corporate;
in relation to a body corporate managed by its members, a member of that body performing managerial functions;
in relation to a Scottish partnership, a partner;
a person purporting to act as a person described in sub-paragraph (a), (b) or (c).
