Section 156

Where an offence against this Order which has been committed by a body corporate or any unincorporated body of persons is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of, the director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of that body corporate or unincorporated body, or of a person purporting to act in any such capacity, he, as well as the body corporate or unincorporated body, is also guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.

Where a partnership is guilty of an offence against this Order, every partner, other than a partner who is proved to have been ignorant of or to have attempted to prevent the commission of the offence, is also guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.

Where an offence against this Order is committed by any person acting as an agent or servant of another person, or being otherwise subject to the supervision or instruction of another person for the purposes of any employment in the course of which the offence was committed, that other person, without prejudice to the liability of the first-mentioned person, is liable under this Order in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had personally committed the offence if it is proved that the act which constituted the offence was committed with his consent or connivance or that it was attributable to any neglect on his part.

In this section, “director”, in relation to a body corporate or unincorporated body whose affairs are managed by its members, means any member of that body corporate or unincorporated body.
