| 单词 | Joinder of counts |
| 释义 | 合併罪名 A procedure authorised by statute by which two or more charges are joined together in the same information or indictment so that they are tried jointly at the one time: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 18. Each charge is a separate charge and the magistrate, judge or jury must give a separate verdict in respect of each charge: R v Ng Kam Wah [1993] 1 HKCLR 163 (CA). The joinder of charges is permitted where those charges are founded on the same facts, or form or are a part of a series of offences of the same or a similar character: Indictment Rules (Cap 221C) r 7. This rule is subject to the discretion of the trial judge to order severance on the basis that the accused may be prejudiced in his trial: R v Kray & Ors [1969] 3 All ER 491, 53 Cr App Re 569, [1970] 1 QB 125. One of the tests the court should look to see whether the alleged offences were linked by a sufficiently close nexus: Ludlow v Metropolitan Police Cmr [1970] 1 All ER 567, [1971] AC 29 (HL). See also Joint trial. 指根據法規的批准，就多於一項罪行提出的控罪，可合併於同一起訴書或公訴書內，使該等控罪可一併接受審訊的程序：《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第18條。每項控罪屬獨立的控罪，裁判官、法官或陪審團須就各項控罪作出獨立的裁決：R v Ng Kam Wah [1993] 1 HKCLR 163 （上訴法院）。就任何罪行提出的控罪，如基於相同的事實，或組成一連串性質相同或相類的罪行或是其部分，該等控罪則可合併：公訴書規則(第221C章)第7條規則。此規則受主審法官酌情決定權所管轄，如該被告人會因此而在審訊上蒙受不利，主審法官可命令將合併控罪分開：R v Kray & Ors [1969] 3 All ER 491, 53 Cr App Re 569, [1970] 1 QB 125。其中一個驗證是法庭須審視該等所控罪名是否為足夠緊密的關係所聯繫：Ludlow v Metropolitan Police Cmr [1970] 1 All ER 567, [1971] AC 29 （上議院）。另見 Joint trial。 |
