Section 114 of the Customs Act was treated as creating two distinct bases of liability: the first limb covers any act or omission that renders goods liable to confiscation, while abetment falls under the separate second limb. The Tribunal held that mens rea is not required under the first limb, so the case was to be tested on the objective effect of the appellant's conduct. Lending the CHA licence, failing to verify the exporter's credentials, and exercising no supervision over clearance activity were treated as a continuous course of conduct that directly facilitated attempted smuggling. Penalty under section 114 was therefore upheld and the appeal dismissed.
