Disobedience and Denial of Assistance
Legal defense against accusations of non-compliance with resolutions and official duties.
The Crime of Serious Disobedience
Article 410 of the Criminal Code sanctions authorities or public officials who openly refuse to comply with judicial resolutions, decisions, or orders from a superior authority issued within the scope of their respective competence and complying with legal formalities.
The key to defense often lies in proving that the refusal was not 'open' and contumacious, or that the order suffered from legality defects that justified non-compliance (compliance with a superior duty of legality).
Denial of Assistance
Article 412 punishes the official who, upon request by a competent authority, refrains from providing due assistance for the Administration of Justice or other public service, and also one who does not provide assistance to an individual to prevent a crime.
