The Act Enforcement provisions Section 29— Individual culpability where organisation commits offence
117.This section makes provision where offences under section 1, 2 or 3 or Part 2 are committed by legal entities such as companies, partnerships, and associations. Where an offence under the Act is committed by a “relevant organisation”, this section provides that the relevant organisation and, in some cases, a “responsible individual” in that organisation are both to be held responsible. This section ensures that those running legal entities who are responsible for the decisions leading to an offence under the Part can also be prosecuted for it.
