Če je bila oseba s pravnomočno sodbo obsojena za kaznivo dejanje in je bila obsodba pozneje spremenjena zaradi novega ali novo odkritega dejstva, ki prepričljivo kaže na sodno zmoto, se osebi, ki je utrpela kazen kot posledico take obsodbe, povrne škoda v skladu z zakonom, razen če se dokaže, da gre nerazkritje nepoznanega dejstva v celoti ali delno pripisati tej osebi.
When a person has by a final decision been convicted of a criminal offence, and when subsequently his or her conviction has been reversed on the ground that a new or newly discovered fact shows conclusively that there has been a miscarriage of justice, the person who has suffered punishment as a result of such conviction shall be compensated according to law, unless it is proved that the non-disclosure of the unknown fact in time is wholly or partly attributable to him or her.
