Is being sick considered a mitigating factor in administrative liability in Vietnam? What is the summary of aggravating factors in administrative liability under current regulations in Vietnam?
I am Vu, from Thanh Hóa. Recently, the commune police has just came to my house to issue a decision to fine me for public disorder. However, I do not agree with this decision because at that time I was suffering from dissociative disorder and had some non-standard behaviors. Therefore, I would like to ask if being sick is considered a mitigating factor in administrative liability?
Thank you!
