Corporate liability exposes officers to prosecution for company offences unless they prove absence of knowledge or due diligence.

Offences by a company render the company and every person in charge and responsible for its business deemed guilty and liable to prosecution, subject to a defence that the person proves lack of knowledge or that all due diligence was exercised to prevent the offence; where an offence is committed with the consent, connivance, or attributable neglect of a director, manager, secretary or other officer, that officer is also deemed guilty and liable. "Company" and "director" are defined broadly to include non corporate associations and their governing members.
