←→ Navigate · Click subsection badges to collapse · Press ? for help
When a person counsels another to commit an offence, and an offence is actually committed after such counsel by the person to whom it is given, it is immaterial whether the offence actually committed is the same as that counselled or a different one, or whether the offence is committed in the way counselled or in a different way, provided in either case that the facts constituting the offence actually committed are a probable consequence of the carrying out of the counsel.
In either case the person who gave the counsel is deemed to have counselled the other person to commit the offence actually committed by that person.
