Article 20

(1) An act committed in extreme necessity shall not constitute a criminal offence.

(3) Punishment of a perpetrator who caused the danger himself, but due to negligence or has exceeded the limits of extreme necessity, may be mitigated. A perpetrator who has exceeded the limits of extreme necessity under particularly extenuating circumstances, may receive remittance of punishment.

(4) There is no Extreme necessity if the offender was under obligation to expose himself to imminent danger.
