Special provisions as to abetment

Cap. 101, s. 125 · Revised Edition 2020

The general provisions with respect to abetment are in their application for the purposes of this Title subject to the special provision, namely, that where a person commands the killing of another person knowing that the killing will be unlawful, then, although the crime of the person so commanded be reduced to manslaughter, or to an attempt to commit manslaughter, by his belief that he was under a legal duty to obey the command, the person giving the command is guilty of the same crime as if the person commanded had not believed himself to be under a legal duty to obey the command.
