Offences by
corporate
bodies.
Where an offence under this Act has been committed by a
corporate body of persons, 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 acting or purporting to act in that capacity, shall also
be guilty of the offence unless he proves that the offence was committed without
his consent or knowledge and that he exercised all the diligence to prevent the
commission of the offence that he ought to have exercised having regard to the
nature of his functions in that capacity and in all the circumstances.
