§ 7122 Licensee Vicarious Discipline

Key Takeaways

  • •If a company or group does something wrong, the people in charge (like bosses or managers) can also get in trouble.
  • •This only happens if those people knew about the bad thing or helped do it.
  • •It doesn’t matter if the person who did the bad thing is the one with the license—others in charge can still be punished.

Example

A construction company dumps waste illegally, and the manager knew about it but did nothing.

The manager can get in trouble too, even if they didn’t dump the waste themselves, because they knew and didn’t stop it.
