Editing Sovereign immunity (section)

===Denmark===
Article 13 of the [[Constitution of Denmark]] states:
{{blockquote|The King shall not be answerable for his actions; his person shall be sacrosanct. The Ministers shall be responsible for the conduct of the government; their responsibility shall be determined by Statute.<ref name=DK-constitution>{{cite web|url=http://www.ft.dk/Dokumenter/Publikationer/Engelsk/~/media/PDF/publikationer/English/The_constitutional_act_of_denmark_2013.pdf.ashx|title=Unofficial translation of the Constitutional Act of Denmark|author=Folketinget|date=2009-08-06|author-link=Folketinget}}</ref>}}

Accordingly, the [[Monarchy of Denmark|monarch]] cannot be sued in his or her personal capacity. On the other hand, this immunity from lawsuits does not extend to the state as such and article 63 explicitly authorises the courts to judge the executive authority: "The courts of justice shall be empowered to decide any question relating to the scope of the executive's authority; though any person wishing to question such authority shall not, by taking the case to the courts of justice, avoid temporary compliance with orders given by the executive authority."<ref name=DK-constitution /> Furthermore, no other member of the royal family can be prosecuted for any crime under Article 25 of the old absolutist constitution [[King's Law|Lex Regia]] (The King's Law), currently still valid, which states: "They shall answer to no magistrate judges, but their first and last Judge shall be the King, or to whom He to that decrees."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/retsinfo/1665/20001 | title=LOV nr 20001 af 14/11/1665, Statsministeriet | newspaper=Retsinformation }}</ref>
