Criminal Liability by Violation of Conditions of Legality of Justifiable Defense
Abstract
The present article deals with some issues of legal assessment of the harm caused by violation of the conditions of the legality of the justifiable defense based on the analysis of the criminal law, scientific interpretations and judicial practice. The author defines the specific features of the liability by violation of such conditions of legality, which are taken into account by the legislator as a sign of the privileged composition, analyses other conditions of the legality of the justifiable defense, which are not the signs of a crime, but relate to the circumstances extenuating the punishment in accordance with Point "zh" of Part 1 of Art. 61 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the judicial practice shows that sometimes the courts apply an extensive interpretation of such a term as exceeding the limits of the justifiable defense. In this connection the author offers the conclusion about the peculiarities of a legal assessment by the violation of the conditions of the legality of causing harm depending on whether the violation is related to the permissible extent by the defense of the harm or another legal condition of the legality, that is not related to the extent of the harm caused by reflection of a social dangerous offence, is violated.
