For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Ordinance to the commission of an offence by every director and every chief executive of a Scheme member or a bank (including any grammatical variations or cognate expressions of such reference) means that one or more than one of any such director and chief executive may be prosecuted for the offence.
No prosecution for an offence under this section shall be instituted without the consent of the Secretary for Justice, but this subsection shall not prevent the arrest, or the issue of a warrant for the arrest, of a person for any such offence, or the remand in custody or on bail of a person charged with any such offence.
