| 单词 | Juror challenge |
| 释义 | 反對某人出任陪審員 During the empanelling of the jury, the right of the Prosecution and the Accused in a criminal trial to challenge or object to an individual person from the panel of jurors or the whole array from serving on the jury. At common law, both sides may challenge either the array or any juror for cause. There is no limit on the number of such challenges for cause. A challenge to the array may be made on the ground that the Registrar complied the panel with partiality, fraud or wilful misconduct. The array may not be challenged on the basis that the whole panel is biased against the accused and he may only make a challenge on this basis by challenging individual jurors. It would not be open to challenge the array that it did not contain any or sufficient persons of a particular race, ethnic background, sex or other distinguishing feature. The grounds of objection should be in writing and must be specifically set out. The onus is upon the party making the challenge to make good the basis upon which it is made: Bruce and McCoy Criminal Procedure Trial on Indictment (Butterworths) paras [1255]-[1300]. The accused is entitled to make five peremptory challenges, that is challenge without cause: Jury Ordinance (Cap 3) s 29. See also Challenge to the array; Peremptory challenge. 在選任陪審團的過程中，刑事審訊中的控方及被告人反對陪審團中的某人出任陪審員或出任的整體陪審團的權利。在普通法上，雙方皆可提出因由反對全體陪審團或任何陪審員。如提出因由的話，則沒有反對陪審員的數目限制。對全體陪審團作出反對可以司法常務主任以偏袒、欺詐或故意的不當行為編制陪審團作為反對的理由。被告人不得以全體陪審團對被告有偏見而反對該等陪審員，被告人只可以該理由反對個別陪審員。如提出陪審團沒有包含某民族、種族背景、性別或其他可區別特徵的足夠人數作為理由，則不可反對整體陪審團。反對陪審員的理由必須以書面作出申請，並須具體地說明理由。舉證責任是由作出反對的一方負擔，並對反對的理由作出證實：Bruce and McCoy Criminal Procedure Trial on Indictment (Butterworths) paras [1255]-[1300]。被告人有權反對不超過5名人士出任陪審員，即無須提出因由的反對：《陪審團條例 》（第3章）第29條。另見 Challenge to the array; Peremptory challenge。 |
