Article 713

第七百十三条

A person who has inflicted damage on another person while in a condition wherein the person lacked the capacity to appreciate their own liability for their acts due to a mental disorder or disability is not liable to compensate for this; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person has temporarily caused that condition, intentionally or negligently.

精神上の障害により自己の行為の責任を弁識する能力を欠く状態にある間に他人に損害を加えた者は、その賠償の責任を負わない。ただし、故意又は過失によって一時的にその状態を招いたときは、この限りでない。
