| 单词 | Legal impossibility |
| 释义 | 法律上的不可能 In criminal law, an inability to attempt or conspire to commit a crime because the thing attempted or the object of the conspiracy would not in law amount to a criminal offence if carried out to completion. In such a situation the attempt or conspiracy would not itself amount to a criminal offence: DPP v Nock [1978] AC 979, 2 All ER 654 (HL); HKSAR v Saifudeen Abdul Wahid [1997] 3 HKC 729 (CA). The impossibility at common law is very narrow and is confined to crimes which are legally or physically impossible to commit: R v Bennett (1978) 68 Cr App Rep 168 (CA). This concept should be contrasted with factual impossibility. See also Attempt; Conspiracy; Factual impossibility. 在刑法上，指不可能企圖或串謀犯罪，因企圖犯下的罪或串謀的對象，如能完成該等作為，在法律上無法構成刑事罪行。在此情況下，企圖或串謀本身不能構成刑事罪行：DPP v Nock [1978] AC 979, 2 All ER 654 （上議院）; HKSAR v Saifudeen Abdul Wahid [1997] 3 HKC 729。在普通法上的不可能範圍是非常狹窄，而被限制為法律上或實質上無法觸犯的罪行：R v Bennett (1978) 68 Cr App Rep 168（英國上訴法院）。另見 Attempt; Conspiracy; Factual impossibility。 |
