24Protection from criminal responsibility for ancillary conduct

24 Protection from criminal responsibility for ancillary conduct (1) This section applies to conduct, such as aiding and abetting the commission of an offence or conspiring to commit an offence (the ancillary conduct), for which a person may be criminally responsible because it involves conduct engaged in by another person that is controlled conduct for which the other person would (apart from section 20) be criminally responsible (the related controlled conduct). (2) Despite any other law of the Territory, a person who engages in ancillary conduct that is an offence (whether or not the person is a participant in a controlled operation) is not criminally responsible for the offence if, at the time the person engaged in the ancillary conduct, the person believed the related controlled conduct was being engaged in, or would be engaged in, by a participant in an authorised operation.
