| 单词 | Gross negligence |
| 释义 | 嚴重疏忽 A conscious and voluntary act or omission performed without intent to cause death or grievous bodily harm but which involved such a great falling short of the standard of care which a reasonable person would have exercised and such a high risk that death or grievous bodily harm would follow that the act or omission merits criminal punishment: Akerele v R [1943] AC 255, 1 All ER 367 (PC). The negligence must be more than a matter of compensation between the parties and must show such disregard for the life and safety of others as to amount to a crime: Andrews v DPP [1937] AC 576, 2 All ER 552. Gross negligence causing death may amount to manslaughter: Andrews v DPP, supra. The test for gross negligence is objective: R v Adomako [1994] 3 All ER 79, Crim LR 757, [1995] 1 AC 171 (HL). See also Duty of care; Manslaughter; Negligence. 在沒有意圖導致他人死亡或身體受到嚴重傷害的情況下，作出有意識及自願的作為或不作為，但比較合理的人如在有關情況會履行的謹慎標準而言，遠遠未能充分謹慎行事，及有極高的危機會導致他人死亡或身體受到嚴重傷害，因而該作為或不作為應予以刑事懲罰：Akerele v R [1943] AC 255, 1 All ER 367（樞密院）。疏忽不得限於各方之間的賠償事項，並須顯示不予理會他人之生命及安全相當於犯罪：Andrews v DPP, 見上文。導致死亡的嚴重疏忽可相當於誤殺：Andrews v DPP, 見上文。嚴重疏忽的驗證是客觀的驗證：R v Adomako [1994] 3 All ER 79, Crim LR 757, [1995] 1 AC 171（上議院）。另見 Duty of care; Manslaughter; Negligence。 |
