Abstract
The article discusses the error in the understanding of penal provisions in terms of excluding
the liability of the person obliged to provide public information. The author made an attempt
to determine the core of an error justified or significant enough to be an effective ground
for excluding the criminal liability of the person obliged to provide public information. For
this purpose, she bases her considerations on the well-established directions of the doctrine,
supplementing theoretical research with selected jurisprudence.
