10. Whenever any infringement of the provisions of this Act has been committed by a firm or corporation, whether having a license or not under the Licenses Act (chapter L-3), and when judgment has been rendered under this Act against a firm or corporation, such judgment may, on failure of such firm or corporation to pay the fine and costs, be executed, in the case of a firm, against each member of the firm; in the case of a corporation, against its president if he is in Québec, and if not, against its manager or representative in Québec, and the sentence of imprisonment may be rendered against such member or officer, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the first paragraph, no judgment may be executed against the members of the firm or the officers of the corporation unless they were personally summoned or accused and were given the opportunity to be heard.
