1 article
An act a person was compelled to take to avert a present danger to the life, body, liberty or property of oneself or any other person is not punishable only when the harm produced by such act does not exceed the harm to be averted; provided, however, that an act causing excessive harm may lead to the punishment being reduced or may exculpate the offender in light of the circumstances.
自己又は他人の生命、身体、自由又は財産に対する現在の危難を避けるため、やむを得ずにした行為は、これによって生じた害が避けようとした害の程度を超えなかった場合に限り、罰しない。ただし、その程度を超えた行為は、情状により、その刑を減軽し、又は免除することができる。
The preceding paragraph does not apply to a person under special professional obligation.
前項の規定は、業務上特別の義務がある者には、適用しない。
