## What Article 46⁹ regulates

Article 46⁹ of the Code of Georgia on Administrative Offences establishes administrative liability for breaching the rules on the characterisation of a human organ, the characterisation of a human organ donor, donor selection and the assessment of compatibility, to the extent those rules are laid down in accordance with the Law of Georgia on the Transplantation of Human Organs and/or the Law of Georgia on the Use of Human Tissues and Cells. The provision serves the medical safety of the transplantation process: the correct characterisation of the organ and the donor and a correct assessment of compatibility form the foundation on which the outcome for the patient directly depends.

On this page we explain which rules are protected by the article, what fines are fixed by its first and second parts, who is regarded as the liable person, and what the article deliberately leaves to other provisions of the Code and to the special laws. Every explanation below is anchored in the text of the article itself, and no figure on this page goes beyond the content of the article.
