(1) Every offence definition and penal provision is understood subject to the "General Exceptions" chapter, even though not repeated each time. (3) Property in the possession of a person's spouse, clerk, or servant on their behalf counts as that person's possession. (5)-(6) When a criminal act is done by several people sharing a common intention, each is liable as if they alone did it - and where an act is criminal only due to criminal knowledge/intention, each person who joins in with that knowledge/intention is liable as if they alone did it. (7)-(9) Causing an effect partly by act and partly by omission is the same offence as causing it entirely by act; where an offence is committed through several acts, whoever intentionally cooperates in any one of them commits the offence; and where several people are involved in a criminal act, they may be guilty of different offences depending on their individual intent.
