| 单词 | Nolle prosequi |
| 释义 | 中止檢控 Lat - unwilling to proceed. A device based on common law whereby the Secretary for Justice may stop proceedings on indictment and may be used at any time after the indictment is signed but must be entered before judgment: R v Colling (1847) 2 Cox CC 184; R v O’Connor (1843) 5 QBD 16 (CCR). This device has been extended by statute to proceedings in the District Court and proceedings before a magistrate: District Court Ordinance (Cap 336) s 75(2); Magistrates Ordinance (Cap 227) s 15. The Secretary for Justice must file a written notice with the Court that it is not intended to proceed further with the indictment: R v Comptroller General of Patents [1899] 1 QB 909 (CA). A nolle prosequi may only be entered by or on behalf of the Secretary for Justice: R v Rowlands (1851) 17 QB 671 (CCR). The effect of filing a nolle prosequi is to discharge the indictment, charge sheet or complaint or information but is not the same as an acquittal or a pardon and does not operate as a bar to further proceedings: Goddard v Smith (1704) 6 Mod Rep 261, 87 ER 1107; Magistrates Ordinance (Cap 227) s 15(1). A nolle prosequi does not establish the innocence of an accused, against whom another indictment may later be presented for the same, or a similar, offence. Often referred to colloquially as a ‘nolle’. See also Abuse of process; Bill of indictment; No bill. 拉丁語 ─ 不願繼續。普通法下，律政司司長可以中止就公訴提起的法律程序之方法，它可以在公訴書簽署後，但必須在判決作出登錄前使用：R v Colling (1847) 2 Cox CC 184; R v O’Connor (1843) 5 QBD 16 (刑事法院)。這方法經法規擴大致區域法院及裁判官席前的法律程序：《區域法院條例》（第336章）第752（2）條；《裁判官條例》（第227章）第15條。律政司司長必須向法庭提交不計劃繼續公訴程序的書面通知：R v Comptroller General of Patents [1899] 1 QB 909 (芵國上訴法院)。中止檢控只可代表律政司司長提交：R v Rowlands (1851) 17 QB 671 (刑事法院)。提交中止檢控的後果是撒銷公訴書、控罪書或申訴或告發，但這與無罪釋放或特赦不同，它不並不禁制其後進行的法律程序：Goddard v Smith (1704) 6 Mod Rep 261, 87 ER 1107；《裁判官條例》（第227章）第15（1）條。中止檢控不證明被控人的清白，控方可其後針對該被控人就同一或相似的罪行提交公訴書。口語上通常稱為「nolle」。另見 Abuse of process; Bill of indictment; No bill。 |
