Explanation of Article 119
This article clarifies the relationship between civil liability and criminal liability. It affirms that civil liability does not affect criminal liability, and that criminal punishment does not influence the determination of the scope of civil liability or the assessment of compensation. It excludes from this the lack of effect of one on the other in certain cases related to the time limits for hearing the case, procedural and judicial aspects, and evidence.
