Section 56: Offences by directors, partners, etc.
In the case of an offence under the Act committed by a body corporate, this section extends liability for the offence to a person who is an officer of the body corporate (as defined in subsection (2)) where the offence has been committed with the connivance of that person, or was a consequence of any neglect attributable to that person (subsection (1)). This section mirrors provisions in section 21 of the 1971 Act.
