| 单词 | Appeal |
| 释义 | 上訴 1. In the narrow sense an application to a higher court to reconsider or rehear the decision of a lower court, on the ground that there has been an error in the decision of the lower court, available on a question of law only or for mistakes of fact or law. An appeal may be as of right, or may depend on the higher court consenting to the appeal (usually by way of granting leave to appeal). The higher court may dismiss the appeal by affirming the decision of the lower court, or reversing or modifying the decision of the lower court, or remitting the matter to the lower court for reconsideration in the light of principles set out by the higher court. A right of appeal may be created, limited or abolished by statute. The Court of Final Appeal has been the highest court of appeal in Hong Kong since 1 July 1997, when appeals to the Privy Council in the United Kingdom ceased by virtue of the termination of sovereignty of the United Kingdom over Hong Kong. 2. More broadly, includes an appeal by way of re-hearing. An appeal includes an application in relation to a case in which a decision has been made to a court higher in the judicial hierarchy for a new trial, or to set aside a verdict, finding or judgment that has been tried, or in which any issue has been tried, by a jury: High Court Ordinance (Cap 4) s 2. 3. An appeal from an executive authority to another executive authority or to a court: Ex p Australian Sporting Club Ltd, Re Dash (1947) 47 SR (NSW) 283. Such an appeal process may in truth be an originating application rather than an appeal stricto sensu: Cmr of Inland Revenue v Board of Review ex p Herald International Ltd [1964] HKLR 224; Chan Kit v Sam Wo Industrial Manufactory [1989] 1 HKC 115 (CA); Bird v English Schools Foundation & Anor [1997] 2 HKC 294 (HC). See also Appeal as of right; Appeal by leave; Appeal de novo; Court of Final Appeal; Privy Council; Question of law. 1. 狹義而言，指向上級法院作出要求就下級法院作出的決定重行考慮或重新聆訊的申請，因為下級法院的決定曾經出現錯誤(純粹的法律問題，或事實上的錯誤或法律上的錯誤)。 上訴可以當然權利為依據，或可取決於上級法院就有關的上訴作出的同意(通常是憑藉批予上訴許可的方式)。上級法院可藉確認下級法院的決定駁回上訴、或推翻或修改下級法院的有關決定、或將有關事宜發還有關的下級法院，以因應上級法院列明的原則重行考慮。可藉法規訂立、限制或廢除上訴權。 終審法院自1997年7月1日起一直是香港的最高上訴法院，而向芵國樞密院作出的上訴則由於芵國在香港的主權已然終結而終止。 2. 更廣泛而言，上訴包括藉重審的方式作出的上訴。上訴包括向上級法院作出要求重新審訊的申請；及要求將曾由陪審團審訊的原訟法庭的訟案或事宜的裁決、裁斷或判決作廢或將有爭論點曾由陪審團審訊的此等訟案或事宜的裁決、裁斷或判決作廢的申請：《高等法院條例》(第4章)第 2條。 3. 指某行政當局向另一行政當局或法院作出的上訴：Ex p Australian Sporting Club Ltd, Re Dash (1947) 47 SR (NSW) 283。 此等上訴的程序事實上可以是原訴申請，而非嚴格意義的上訴：Cmr of Inland Revenue v Board of Review ex p Herald International Ltd [1964] HKLR 224; Chan Kit v Sam Wo Industrial Manufactory [1989] 1 HKC 115 (上訴法庭); Bird v English Schools Foundation & Anor [1997] 2 HKC 294 (高等法院)。另見 Appeal as of right; Appeal by leave; Appeal de novo; Court of Final Appeal; Privy Council; Question of law。n. |
