Abstract

This article will first analyse the meaning and content of dishonesty, before arguing that dishonesty adds an unnecessary and undesirable layer of complexity to the mental element of accessory liability. It would be preferable to return to a stable and restrictive mental element of actual knowledge or blind-eye knowledge. This would have the further advantage of making the law concerning accessory liability in equity consistent with its common law counterpart of inducing a breach of contract.
