1. An act shall be attributed to its perpetrator, not to the person who ordered it, unless the perpetrator was compelled. In factual acts, only irresistible coercion is legally relevant. 2. A public official or a person of similar status shall not be liable for an act that harms another if they performed it in implementation of a law or an order issued by their superior, provided that obedience was mandatory or they believed it to be so, and they provide evidence for their belief in the lawfulness of the act, and that their belief was based on reasonable grounds, and that they acted with due care and caution. In this case, the court shall award compensation against the person held responsible for the harm.
