Definition
(1) Acts conducted with recklessness shall be subject to a penalty only where explicitly
prescribed by law.
(2) Unconscious recklessness is defined as conducting an act without foreseeing the
results as stated in the legal definition of the offence, due to a failure to discharge a duty
of care and attention.
(3) An act is conducted with conscious recklessness when the result is foreseen but is not
desired; in this case the penalty for the reckless offence shall be increased by one-third
to one-half.
(4) The penalty to be imposed for an offence committed with recklessness shall be
determined according to the offender’s fault.
(5) In offences committed with recklessness, if there is more than one offender, each
individual shall be culpable for his own fault. The penalty for each of the offenders shall
be determined separately, according to their own fault.
(6) A penalty shall not be imposed if, as the result of a reckless act, the offender becomes a
victim to such a degree (by reference to his personal and family circumstances only)
that imposing a penalty becomes unnecessary. Where the offence is committed with
conscious recklessness then penalty to be imposed may be reduced by one-sixth to
one-half.
