§ 1.04.020. Construction of intent to defraud and agents' liability.

Latest version.

In the construction of this Code and all ordinances amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto, the following rules shall be observed unless such construction would be inconsistent with the manifest intent of the legislative body or repugnant to the context:
(1)

Intent to defraud. Whenever, by any of the provisions of this Code, an intent to defraud is required in order to constitute an offense, it is sufficient if an intent appears to defraud any person, association or body politic or any combination of persons.

(2)

Liability of employers and agents. When the provisions contained in this Code prohibit the commission or omission of an act, not only the person actually doing the prohibited thing or omitting the directed act, but also the employer and all other persons concerned of aiding or abetting the person shall be guilty of the offense described and liable for the penalty associated therewith.
