Abstract
The wide scope of the doctrine of extended common purpose has been criticized. Justice Michael Kirby, for example, has made numerous criticisms of it in a number of cases. The New South Wales Law Reform Commission is conducting an inquiry into the law of complicity, with particular focus on the law of extended common purpose in homicide cases. The Commission’s Consultation Paper provides a summary of the criticisms and poses some alternative reform models. This article is a contribution to that discussion.
