GENERAL LAWN SPRAY LIMITED 130 Oakdale Road Phone 636-0215 Downsview Ontario RO ici ls ee cls ie Mr. Yarosky frames the prob- lems in terms' of several ques- tions, among them, "where are 'we to draw the line that divides those persons whose actions can be attributed to the corporation sang: from those persons who erely servants or agents . the corporation and whose criminal acts bind only them- selves"' Among his conclusions are: SERVING OSHAWA AND AREA OVER 40 YEARS... 1, A company is not convicted, because it must answer for the acts of its employees or agents but because certain officers whose actions are those of the}! company itself have behaved criminally. 2. Acts of a corporation's officers should be considered those of the company only when they can be linked to "the ac- tive and directing will of the corporation," the "directing mind and will of the corpora- tion," and the "very ego and centre of the personality of the corporation. company's business and struc- ture, and the authority dele- gated by the directors to the company's managing officers. 4. A company could ordinar- ily be bound only by its board of directors, by a single direc- tor or by a senior executive officer. Only these persons nor- mally were close enough to "'the very heart and centre of the corporate onganism and person- ality" to be identified with it. 5. Finally, the burden of proof 'was always upon the Crown, .|"and it is always incumbent upon the Crown to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the per- son whose acts are alleged to be those of the company prop- erly comes within the rules out- lined above."
