Liability of body corporate

Where a person by whom an offence under these Regulations is committed is a body corporate, every person who at the time of the commission of the offence was a director, general manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate, or was purporting to act in any such capacity shall be deemed to be guilty of that offence unless he proves that the offence was committed without his consent or connivance and that he exercised all such diligence, as he ought to have exercised, to prevent the commission of the offence, having regard to the nature of his functions in that capacity and to all circumstances. Repeal S.I. 57/1982.
