negligence, carelessness, non-precaution, recklessness, imprudence or non-observance of the laws or regulations. Unless the Law explicitly provides for premeditation, the perpetrator shall be liable for the offence whether it was committed deliberately or by mistake. Article 33 The criminal intention is deemed to have been exceeded when the intention of the perpetrator was to produce a result less severe than that produced and which he did not intend. Article 34 “Ignorantia juris non excusat”: Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Ignorance of the offence provision or the wrong interpretation thereof shall not negate the actual criminal intent. Article 35 Unless otherwise stipulated by law, the motive for the commission of an offence is not taken into consideration. Article 36 mistake of fact, on reasonable grounds, shall be a ground for excluding criminal responsibility only if it negates the mental element required by the crime. If an offence is committed because of a mistake of fact, the liability of the perpetrator shall be determined on the basis of the facts as he believed them to be if they were to negate or reduce his liability, provided that his belief is based on reasonable grounds. In case the mistake that makes the perpetrator believes his non-liability is due to his negligence or incaution, he shall be liable for a non premeditated crime, should the law sanction this offence as such. Article 37 Except for ministries, other governmental departments, and public organizations and institutions, any other legal person shall be criminally liable for the offences committed by his representatives, managers, and agents acting on his behalf or in his name, and it shall not be allowed to judge him except by a fine, and applicable provisions from the secondary penalties stipulated by law; if the law stipulates a principal penalty in addition to the fine, then the fine shall not exceed a maximum limit of five hundred thousand (500.000) Qatari Riyals. This does not negate the punishment of the perpetrator in person with the appropriate penalty set out in the law. Chapter Three Complicity
