It critically examines the historical, doctrinal and policy reasons put forward by the HKCFA in support of its decision to reject Jogee. The paper argues that the HKCFA and UKSC judgments are at cross-purposes, being based on fundamentally different analytical frameworks and taxonomies of complicity.
