(a)the regulated donee, or
(b)(if a members association) the responsible person,

(3)Where a person is charged with an offence under this paragraph, it shall be a defence to prove that he took all reasonable steps, and exercised all due diligence, to ensure that any requirements—
(a)as regards the preparation and delivery of a report in respect of the donation in question, or
(b)as regards the information to be given in the report in question,
as the case may be, were complied with in relation to that donation or report.
(4)Where the court is satisfied, on an application made by the Commission, that any failure to comply with any such requirements in relation to any donation to the regulated donee was attributable to an intention on the part of any person to conceal the existence or true amount of the donation, the court may order the forfeiture by the donee of an amount equal to the value of the donation.
(5)The following provisions, namely—
(a)subsections (3) to (5) of section 58, and
