About this statute

In a joint charge against two or more people, it is not necessary to allege each of the listed alternative forms of participation; those alternatives are implied. A person who has already been tried for an offence and convicted or acquitted cannot be tried again for the same offence on the same facts, unless that conviction or acquittal has been reversed or set aside. A person who was convicted or acquitted of an offence may later be tried for another offence tied to the former trial under section 134(1). A person who has been convicted or acquitted may later be tried for a different offence based on the same act and its consequences, if those consequences had not happened or were not known to the court at the earlier trial. A person may be charged and tried again for another offence based on the same acts if the first court was not competent to try that offence.
