Part VII · General

68. Principal liable for offences of agents and servants

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Where any offence under this Act is committed by an agent or servant of any manufacturer or trader, such offence shall be deemed to have been committed by such manufacturer or trader, unless he proves that such offence was committed without his knowledge.
