136. When a corporation is guilty of an offence against this act, any person who prescribed or authorized the commission of the offence, or who assented thereto or acquiesced or participated therein, is deemed a party to the offence and liable to the same penalty as that provided for the corporation, whether or not such corporation has been prosecuted or convicted.
However, a person who has caused his dissent to be recorded in the minutes or who has given notice of it to the association or federation by registered or certified letter within a reasonable delay after he has become aware of the commission of the offence shall not be deemed a party to the offence.
