(ii) it was reasonable in all the circumstances for him to rely on checks carried out by the person who supplied him with the plastic material or article or the material or article in question; and



(c) that he did not know and had no reason to suspect at the time the offence was committed that his act or omission would amount to an offence under these Regulations.

    (4) A person satisfies the requirements of this paragraph if the offence is one of sale and he proves —

(a) that the commission of the offence was due to the act or default of some other person who was not under his control, or to reasonable reliance on information supplied by such a person;

(b) that the sale of which the alleged offence consisted was not a sale under his name or mark; and

(c) that he did not know and could not reasonably have been expected to know at the time the offence was committed that his act or omission would amount to an offence under these Regulations.

    (5) If in any case the defence provided by this regulation involves the allegation that the commission of the offence was due to the act or default of another person, or to reliance on information supplied by another person, the person accused shall not without leave of the court be entitled to rely on that defence unless —

(a) at least seven clear days before the hearing; and

(b) where he has previously appeared before the court in connection with the alleged offence, within one month of his first such appearance,

he has served on the prosecutor a written notice giving such information identifying or assisting in the identification of that other person as was then in his possession.
