A. As to the assertion of mistake or misapprehension of legal principles, Article 16 of the Criminal Act provides that an act of misunderstanding that one’s act constitutes a legal mistake under Article 16 of the Criminal Act shall not be punishable only when there are justifiable grounds for misunderstanding.

Whether there exists a justifiable reason should be determined depending on whether the misunderstanding of the misunderstanding’s intellectual ability could be examined or inquired by the misunderstanding of the misunderstanding’s intellectual ability.
