Mistake of fact defence: conduct believed to be compelled by law is not an offence when believed in good faith. An act is not an offence when done by a person who is bound by law to do it, or who, in good faith and by reason of a mistake of fact (not of law), believes himself to be so bound; examples include a soldier following lawful orders and an officer arresting a person he honestly believes is the person ordered.
