Supreme Court and Judicial Committee of the Privy Council Secondary Participation in Crime R v Jogee [2016] UKSC 8 Ruddock v The Queen [2016] UKPC 7

摘要

In these unconnected conjoined appeals both appellants had been convicted of murder after trial, their juries having been directed on the basis of what was widely accepted to be the law of joint enterprise. Each had been present when a principal offender killed their respective victims, and each appellant had, on the findings of their juries, given assistance or encouragement to those principals. The trial judge for each had, as was to be expected at the time, directed the juries in a manner consistent with the Privy Council authority of Chan Wing-Siu v The Queen [1985] AC 168.
