Every person who encourages, advises, allows, authorizes or orders another person to commit an offence is guilty of the offence, and of any other offence the other person commits if he knew or should have known that his conduct would probably result in the commission of the offences.
The fact that no means or plan for committing the offence was proposed or that it was committed otherwise than as proposed does not constitute a defence.
