单词 | Venue |
释义 | 審判管轄區 The particular court with geographical jurisdiction to hear and determine a case. As a matter of general common law principle, only conduct which is a criminal offence against the Hong Kong law and occurs within the territorial limits of Hong Kong may be tried in the Hong Kong courts: R v Oliphant [1905] 2 KB 67. While the venue for trial of many offences is determined by statute, there remain a wide range of offences which are triable in more than one court. For the most part these are offences triable on indictment and include offences under the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Cap 134), the Crimes Ordinance (Cap 200) and the Theft Ordinance (Cap 210). Many of these offences are triable either before a magistrate, the District Court or the Court of First Instance. In some limited circumstances, summary offences may be tried in the Court of First Instance or the District Court. The sole power to make at least the initial determination as to the venue of such offences lies with the Secretary for Justice. See also Jurisdiction. 就某案件擁有地區司法管轄權進行聆訊及作出裁定的個別法庭。在一般的普通法原則上,只有違反香港法律及在香港領地範圍內發生的刑事罪行方可在香港法庭內進行審訊:R v Oliphant [1905] 2 KB 67。儘管許多罪行的審判管轄區乃由法規決定,但仍然有不少是可在多於一個法庭進行審訊。此等罪行大部分可循公訴程序審訊,包括在《危險藥物條例》(第134章)、《盜竊罪條例》(第210章)及《刑事罪行條例》(第200章)之下的罪行。此等罪行大多數可在裁判法院、區域法院或原訟法庭進行審訊。在某些有限的情況下,循簡易程序起訴之罪行可在原訟法庭或區域法院進行審訊。唯有律政司司長方有權就此等罪行的審判管轄區作出初步決定。另見司法管轄權。 n. |
