| 单词 | Year and a day rule |
| 释义 | 一年零一日規則 The rule that, for the purposes of offences involving death and of suicide, an act or omission is conclusively presumed not to have caused a person's death if more than a year and a day elapsed before he died: Offences against the Person Ordinance (Cap 212) s 3 (repealed). The period includes the day on which the act which caused the death occurred: Turner Kenny’s Outlines of Criminal Law (19th Ed, 1966) p 84. This rule has been abrogated for all purposes by statute. However, the abrogation does not affect the continued application of the rule to a case where the act or omission (or the last of the acts or omissions) which caused the death occurred before the commencement of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance 2000 (32 of 2000): s 3(2). See also Causation. 就涉及死亡和自殺的罪行而言，指不可推翻地推定，如某人在死亡前超逾一年零一日流逝，則某作為或不作為不會已導致某人死亡：《侵害人身罪條例》(第212章) 第 3(1)條。此段期間包括導致死亡發生的行為的日期：Turner Kenny’s Outlines of Criminal Law（第19版，1966年）第84頁。法規就各方面而言已廢止此等規則：第3(1)條。但有關的廢止並不會影響繼續引用此等規則，即在《2000年成文法(雜項規定)條例》(2000年第32 號)展開始前引致有關死亡發生的作為或不作為的案件：第3(2)條。另見 Causation。 |
