(e) The company may designate in its annual report that the general manager or a particular director as being responsible for the fulfillment of the provisions and obligations referred to in section 354; where the company so designates, the Registrar shall not require payment of the monetary sanction from any other director of the company, unless the payment of the monetary sanction has already been demanded previously from the general manager or director designated by the company, and has not been paid by them.

Collection from director

361. (a) The provisions of this Article shall not derogate from the power of a prosecutor to file an information for an offense under this Law in respect of which a monetary sanction may be imposed under this Article, for reasons that shall be set out in writing; for these purposes, “prosecutor” – as defined in section 12 of the Criminal Procedure Law (Consolidated Version)), 1982.
