Clause 19

For the purposes of this Act or any rules made thereunder, every renter or registered renter shall be liable for every act, omission, neglect or default of any agent, clerk or servant employed by him and acting within the scope of his employment, as fully and as effectually as if such act, omission, neglect or default were done or committed by such renter or registered renter, but so that nothing in this section shall affect the liability of such agent, clerk or servant, and provided that the liability of such renter or registered renter shall not extend to imprisonment unless he is privy to the offence.
