      Termination of involvement etc.

      (6) A person cannot be found guilty of an offence because of the operation of this section if, before the conduct constituting any of the physical elements of the joint offence concerned was engaged in, the person:

      Person may be found guilty even if another party not prosecuted etc.

      (a) has, in relation to each physical element of an offence, a fault element applicable to that physical element; and

      (b) procures conduct of another person that (whether or not together with conduct of the procurer) would have constituted an offence on the part of the procurer if the procurer had engaged in it;
