Concealing design to commit offence: criminal liability arises where concealment or false representation facilitates an imprisonable offence, with graded penalties. Concealing design to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment creates liability where a person, intending to facilitate or knowing it likely to facilitate an imprisonable offence, voluntarily conceals the existence of the design or makes a false representation about it. If the offence is committed, punishment may extend to one quarter of the term prescribed for that offence; if not committed, punishment may extend to one eighth of the longest prescribed term, or a fine, or both.
