104.Subsection (2) provides that if an offence under Part II is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of an officer of a body corporate then he as well as the company are guilty of the offence. Individual officers of a body corporate who are complicit in an offence under this Part of the Act, will not be able to escape prosecution simply because the body corporate is liable: both may be liable to prosecution.
