Paragraph 14 Offences Committed by Bodies of Persons. Where any offence under this Ordinance or under any regulations made under this Decree is committed by a body of persons, every director, partner and officer of that body shall be deemed also to be guilty of that offence unless he proves to the satisfaction of the Court that the act in respect of which he is charged was committed by some person other than himself and that the act was committed without his knowledge, consent or connivance and that he exercised all such diligence to prevent the commission of that act, as he ought to have exercised having regard to all the circumstances.
