单词 | Vexatious litigant |
释义 | 無理纏擾的訴訟人 A person who has habitually and persistently and without any reasonable ground instituted vexatious legal proceedings, whether in the Court of First Instance or any inferior court, and whether against the same persons or different persons: High Court Ordinance (Cap 4) s 27(1). After giving him an opportunity of being heard, the court may order that no legal proceedings be instituted by such person in any court without the leave of the Court of First Instance; and that any legal proceedings already instituted by him in any court are not to be continued by him without such leave: s 27(1); Tse Jeekeen v HK Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movement of China [2000] 2 HKC 339, [2001] 1 HKLRD 132. This provision does not apply to criminal proceedings (Re Boaler [1915] 1 KB 21 (CA)), or to proving in bankruptcy (Re ID Wilson (a bankrupt), ex p Bebbington Easton [1973] 1 All ER 849, 1 WLR 314). A vexatious litigant is restrained on the basis that the proceedings are unnecessary and harassing against the other party and as such constitute an abuse of the processes of the court. Permission to a vexatious litigant to institute legal proceedings may only be given if the court is satisfied that the proceedings are not an abuse of the process of the court and that there is prima facie ground for the proceedings: Wong Yu Kwong v Hong Kong Society for the Blind [1987] 3 HKC 186 (CA). Application to declare a person a vexatious litigant is made by the Secretary for Justice to the Court of First Instance: s 27(1). See also Abuse of process; Frivolous and vexatious. 曾慣常及經常在無合理理由的情況下提起無理纏擾的法律程序(不論是在原訟法庭或任何下級法院,亦不論是針對同一人或針對不同的人)的任何人:《高等法院條例》(第4章)第27(1)條。原訟法庭可在給予該人獲聆聽的機會後,命令在無原訟法庭許可的情況下,該人不得在任何法院提起法律程序;以及在無該許可的情況下,該人在該項命令作出前在任何法院所提起的法律程序不得繼續進行:第27(1)條;Tse Jeekeen v HK Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movement of China [2000] 2 HKC 339, [2001] 1 HKLRD 132。此條文並不適用於刑事法律程序(Re Boaler [1915] 1 KB 21(芵國上訴法院)),或破產案中的證驗(Re ID Wilson (破產人), ex p Bebbington Easton [1973] 1 All ER 849, 1 WLR 314)。無理纏擾的訴訟人被約制是基於以下原因:有關的法律程序為不必要的,及該法律程序對另一方造成騷擾,因而構成濫用法庭程序。如法庭信納該等法律程序並非濫用法院程序,及該等法律程序具有表面理由,則可准予無理纏擾的訴訟人提起法律程序:Wong Yu Kwong v Hong Kong Society for the Blind [1987] 3 HKC 186 (上訴法庭)。要求宣布某人為無理纏擾的訴訟人的申請,是由律政司司長向原訟法庭提出的:第27(1)條。另見 Abuse of process; Frivolous and vexatious。 |
