Article 59 of Juveniles Law

Civil claims may not be brought before juvenile courts. Article 60 (1) If an accused person is sentenced to a penalty on the basis that he has reached the age of fifteen, and it is subsequently established by official documents that he has not reached that age, the Juvenile Prosecution shall refer the matter to the court that issued the judgment for reconsideration in accordance with the law. If the accused is sentenced on the basis that he is over eighteen, and it is subsequently established by official documents that he has not reached that age, the Public Prosecution shall refer the matter to the court that issued the judgment for reconsideration, the issuance of a ruling setting aside its judgment, and referral of the papers to the Juvenile Prosecution for action thereon. In each of the preceding two cases, enforcement of the judgment must be stayed, and the convicted person may be held in custody pursuant to Article 18 of this Law. If an accused person is sentenced as a juvenile, and it is subsequently established by official documents that he is over eighteen, the Public Prosecution shall refer the matter to the court that issued the judgment for reconsideration in the manner set out in the preceding paragraphs.
