#### 19F Offences committed by agents—liability of principal

(2) If intention, knowledge or recklessness is a fault element in relation to a physical element of the offence, that fault element must be attributed to the principal if the principal expressly, tacitly or impliedly authorised or permitted the commission of the offence.
