14. Liability of bodies corporate or unincorporated

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

Where any person who is required to pay any sum of money or penalty to the Central Bank under section 11 or 13 is a body corporate or unincorporated, every director, member or partner of such body shall also be personally liable jointly and severally to pay such amount or value and expenses:

Provided that, such director, member or partner shall not be liable to pay such amount or value if such person proves that the act or omission incurring such liability was done or omitted to have been done without the knowledge of such person or that such person exercised due diligence to prevent such act or omission.
