The language of ‘aid, abet, counsel or procure’ from s 8 of the Accessories and Abettors Act 1861 may be more familiar to some readers. ‘Assist, encourage or procure’ is a more modern and accessible recasting of the same requirements: see Law Commission Participating in Crime, Law Com No 305 (2007).
