ABSTRACT
Key Judgment: Donaldson LJ ‘(1) A and B agree to drive from London to Edinburgh in a time which can be achieved without exceeding the speed limit but only if the traffic is exceptionally light. Their agreement will not necessarily involve the commission of any offence. (2) A and B agree to rob a bank if, when they arrive at the bank, it is safe to do so. Their agreement will necessarily involve the commission of the offence of robbery if it is carried out in accordance with their intentions’.
