In the case of R v Jogee, the UK Supreme Court overturned a previous interpretation of joint enterprise law, which had been used to convict individuals of murder even if they didn't directly commit the killing. The ruling clarified that merely being present or associated with someone who commits a crime does not make someone guilty of the same crime under joint enterprise law.

Examine how Ruddock and Jogee avoided legal issues.

When the Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the appeal, common law reform
began. This is about joint association laws. The Chan Wing-Siu doctrine convicted
both defendants of murder. PAL stands for parasitic accessory liability. Enclosing
user-supplied text with tags. Professor Sir John Smith coined the term and
lobbied the privy council to adopt it in the Chan Wing-Siu case [4]. Additionally,
Powell and English [5] had an impact.
Each decision has been evaluated using "PAL" before. We'll investigate what's
convinced legal scholars and commentators that PAL is a judicially used illegal
doctrine. Courts use the doctrine, which does not rely solely on logic, to determine
whether co-conspirators intended to murder. No intent proof was required for
secondary parties. The secondary party should expect the primary party to engage
in improper conduct [6]. This shows the prosecution's ability to quickly identify
accessories' crimes.
R v. Smith [8] illustrates prejudicial court regulations before the PAL. Before PAL,
the judicial system dealt with crime pragmatically. R v. Smith [9], a precedent,
shows how courts consider third-party intent when determining liability. In court,
anticipating the primary defendant's more heinous act does not prove intent to
murder or inflict severe bodily harm. Only those who intentionally cause substantial
and unlawful physical harm are murderers, according to the court [10]. Whether
the principal knew about the second act depends on the accomplice's intent. In
secondary participation cases, R v. Reid [11] supports this position. Knowing the
defendant's intent to murder was enough to convict, the ruling said. The court
found murder based on information, not intent. The manslaughter conviction
mattered.
Chan Wing-Siu [12] details the secondary participation regulatory amendment. On
May 31, 1980, the appellant and two others visited two delinquents to settle a
debt. The loan led to two fatal stabbings and serious injuries. Following one
victim's assault, the third perpetrator admitted to using a knife in self-defense,
while the other two denied any allegations. Defendants called the offense victim-
initiated. There were three murder convictions [13]. The court considered
accomplice liability (PAL) for murder if the secondary party had any reasonable
expectation that the principal would breach their agreement and commit a more
heinous act. According to Chan Wing-Siu, if two people conspire to commit a crime
(A) and one (D1) commits a different crime (B) to achieve the same goal, the other
(D2) may be held liable as an accessory to crime B if they knew or should have
known D1 would commit the act. D2's knowledge and continued participation in the
