| 单词 | Malicious prosecution |
| 释义 | 惡意檢控 Bringing a criminal action which is motivated by ill will or evil intent rather than to serve the interests of justice. An abuse of the process of the court by wrongfully setting the law in motion on a criminal charge: Mohamed Amin v Jogendra Kumar Bannerjee [1947] AC 322 (PC); Everett v Ribbands [1952] 2 QB 198, 1 All ER 823 (CA). To be actionable as a tort the process must have been without reasonable and probable cause, must have been instituted or carried on maliciously and must have terminated in the plaintiff’s favour: Mohamed Amin v Jogendra Kumar Bannerjee, supra. The plaintiff must also prove damage: Quatrz Hill Consolidated Gold Mining Co v Eyre (1833) 11 QBD 674 (CA). Analogy could be drawn with the tort of malicious prosecution that there must be some element in the defendant’s conduct apart from to serve the interests of justice: The Maule [1995] 2 HKC 769 (CA). If no adequate justification for the proceedings is put forward then malicious intent may be implied. See also Abuse of process; Dismissal; Malice. 在敵意或惡意的動機下，而非為維護公正，所提起的刑事法律程序。以刑事控罪開啟法律程序而濫用法庭的司法程序：Mohamed Amin v Jogendra Kumar Bannerjee [1947] AC 322 （樞密院）；Everett v Ribbands [1952] 2 QB 198, 1 All ER 823 （英國上訴法院）。作為可予以訴訟的侵權，程序必須是沒有合理因由及沒有頗有可能的因由，它必須是惡意提起或惡意地繼續，而其終結必須是原告人取得勝訴：Mohamed Amin v Jogendra Kumar Bannerjee, supra。原告人亦必須證明損失：Quatrz Hill Consolidated Gold Mining Co v Eyre (1833) 11 QBD 674 （英國上訴法院）。與惡意控告侵權的相似之處為，被告人的行為必須包含除為維護公正以外的元素：The Maule [1995] 2 HKC 769 （上訴法院）。如被告不能就提起的法律程序提出足夠的可據理由，法庭可作出隱含惡意的裁定。另見 Abuse of process; Dismissal; Malice。 |
