 Antuzis v DJ Houghton [2019] EWHC 843 (QB) seems relevant to this. 
 The directors in that case were held personally liable for failure 
 to pay minimum wage, because the judge was persuaded that they 
 "actually realised" that the failure to meet the minimum wage 
 requirements was unlawful (as opposed to, say, just not knowing 
 about the minimum wage rules or paying insufficient attention to 
 them).
