If a company breaks the law under section 15 of the Litter Act, you can also be guilty if you are a director, manager, secretary, or similar officer of that company. This only happens if the law was broken with your knowledge and consent. You are considered to have knowledge and consent if you knew about the act or omission that broke the law and agreed to it.
