49 General principles
(1)
This Act applies to corporations as well as individuals.
Note A law that creates an offence applies to a corporation as well as to an individual (see Legislation Act, s 161).
(2)
The Act applies to corporations in the same way as it applies to individuals, but subject to the changes made by this part and any other changes necessary because criminal responsibility is being imposed on a corporation rather than an individual.
