Care Standards Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

Section 30 Offences by bodies corporate

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.
