§ 12.1-03-03 — Individual accountability for conduct on behalf of organizations

1. A person is legally accountable for any conduct he performs or causes to be
performed in the name of an organization or in its behalf to the same extent as if the
conduct were performed in his own name or his behalf.
2. Except as otherwise expressly provided, whenever a duty to act is imposed upon an
organization by a statute or regulation thereunder, any agent of the organization
having primary responsibility for the subject matter of the duty is legally accountable
for an omission to perform the required act to the same extent as if the duty were
imposed directly upon himself.
3. When an individual is convicted of an offense as an accomplice of an organization, he
is subject to the sentence authorized when a natural person is convicted of that
offense.
