About this document
Modes of Criminal Participation and Liability by Dora Lopez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Sections 21-23 of the Criminal Code provide that parties to an offence, such as aiders, abettors, or counsellors, can be found criminally liable even if they did not directly commit the criminal act. These provisions aim to capture people who work together to carry out crimes. To be found liable as a party, the person must have the requisite mental state for the specific offence and their conduct must have helped or encouraged the principal offender.
