520			_aQBD 24 January 1997. The site supervisor of the appellant (S) company allowed the discharge of a load of controlled waste into a bund already containing waste material. No waste disposal form or advice note was completed, as required by S`s waste management licence, indicating the load`s location. Information was laid against S alleging that it had knowingly caused controlled waste to be deposited in breach of its licence contrary to s 33(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. S contended that it could not be guilty of an offence since it had not known about the breach. The justices found that there had been a breach, since the site supervisor was acting within the scope of his authority. S appealed. The judgement was held, and the appeal dismissed.
