The Court held that 'causing to be used' under Regulation 104(1) creates absolute liability akin to 'using' and does not require proof that the corporate causer knew of the defect; because the regulations are remedial and aimed at public safety, causing the vehicle to be used by management suffices to uphold the conviction.
