Part 4 Parties to the commission of offences
66Parties to offences
Every one is a party to and guilty of an offence who—
- actually commits the offence; or
- does or omits an act for the purpose of aiding any person to commit the offence; or
- abets any person in the commission of the offence; or
- incites, counsels, or procures any person to commit the offence.
Where 2 or more persons form a common intention to prosecute any unlawful purpose, and to assist each other therein, each of them is a party to every offence committed by any one of them in the prosecution of the common purpose if the commission of that offence was known to be a probable consequence of the prosecution of the common purpose.
