If you clear out your garage and ask "Sams Shewen Skip Hire" to remove all the wastes you have accumulated you have something called a "Duty of Care ".
This means if you rubbish turned up in a field somewhere in the Gower you are held responsible. It is your waste. It was your duty to check that SSSH were registered carriers with a waste management licence. You will argue you gave Sam £50 and you were no longer owner of the waste Sam was, "It will not wash sunshine" .
You will argue that you trusted the SSSH were OK because they did a good job for your brother in law. It is not enough. Your weeping in court at the £500 fine will cut no ice.
I am not a lawyer but the same principle in UK / EU probably applies in a similar way.
Nantes had a 'duty of care ' to Sala. He attended an event at Nantes football club (possibly by invitation from them) and through their agent organised transport for him. The pilot was as cheap as you could possibly get and was paid a miserly £270 in cash.
Like you outside Neath Court of Justice "Cela n'a rien à voir avec moi monsieur" should not be satisfactory.
I am talking principles of justice as I see them not the law. I am not a lawyer. Once the £15m certificate was in the bank Nantes failed in their "duty of care" or its actual EU / French legal equivalent.
