单词 | Attempting to pervert the course of justice |
释义 | 企圖妨礙司法公正 The offence at common law of doing an act that has a tendency to, and is intended to, pervert the administration of public justice, whether or not proceedings have been commenced: R v Lau Alexander [1982] HKC 174, HKDCLR 53 (DC). It includes fabricating evidence (R v Selvage [1982] 1 All ER 96, QB 372 (CA)), bribing police to hinder the prosecution (Bassey [1985] Crim LR 671), and pleading guilty to an offence committed by another (R v Devito [1975] Crim LR 175). The offence is a substantive offence even though it is called an attempt: Machin (1980) 71 Cr App R 166. The accused’s conduct is assessed in terms of its tendency and his intention rather than that of proximity to an ultimate offence: R v Lee Chi Wai [1988] HKC 626 (HC). See also Perverting the course of justice. 屬普通法的罪行,指行為上意欲及意圖妨礙執行社會公正,不論有關的法律程序是否已展開:R v Lau Alexander [1982] HKC 174, HKDCLR 53(區域法院)。包括捏造證據(R v Selvage [1982] 1 All ER 96, QB 372(英國上訴法院));賄賂警方以阻撓有關的檢控(R v Bassi [1985] Crim LR 671);以及頂替犯罪者認罪(R v Devito [1975] Crim LR 175)。該罪行雖說是企圖,但已構成實質罪行:R v Machin (1980) 71 Cr App R 166。評估被告的行為時,是根據該行為的意欲及被告人的意圖而作出判斷,而非接近最終罪行的程度:R v Lee Chi Wai [1988] HKC 626(高等法院)。另見 Perverting the course of justice。 |
