Lawyer under Art. 124 KKU. Liability for intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm in case of exceeding the limits of necessary defense

In accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, all persons have the right to self-defense in the event of an illegal attack or threat. However, defensive actions may sometimes involve the use of force that exceeds the limits of necessary defense. This can have serious legal consequences, particularly if the injuries are considered serious. If they want to prosecute you under Article 124 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, contact the lawyers of the Prskhodko and Partners law firm, who will help protect your rights during criminal proceedings.

What is intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm in case of exceeding the limits of necessary defense?

Exceeding the limits of necessary defense is a situation where a person who uses force to protect himself or others goes beyond the scope of necessary defense and intentionally uses excessive force or violence that is disproportionate to the actual threat. Exceeding the limits of the necessary defense can result in serious injury or even death.

In situations where a person takes defensive action against an attacker, an important factor in determining whether the limits of necessary defense are exceeded is his awareness of the degree of danger and harm he is causing. This includes not only objective factors, such as the nature of the attack and means of protection, but also a person's subjective perception of the circumstances of the situation and his reaction to it.

In the event that a person exceeds the limits of necessary defense and inflicts serious bodily harm, he may be held criminally liable.
