Offences under this Act are punishable summarily unless the context otherwise requires.

For the avoidance of doubt it is declared that conduct in respect of which a person is made liable to a fine by this Act is an offence.

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