67. Offences by partnership or body corporate

Proceedings for an offence under this Act alleged to have been committed by a partnership must be brought against the partnership in the name of the firm and not in that of the partners; but without affecting any liability of the partners under subsection (3).

A fine imposed on a partnership on its conviction in such proceedings must be paid out of the partnership assets.

Where a partnership is guilty of an offence under this Act, every partner, other than a partner who is proved to have been ignorant of or to have attempted to prevent the commission of the offence, is also guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.

Where an offence under this Act committed by a body corporate is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate, or a person who was purporting to act in any such capacity, he or she as well as the body corporate shall be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
