| 单词 | Non-compellability of judge |
| 释义 | 不得強制法官 A rule of public policy which prohibits compelling judges from giving evidence concerning cases tried by them: Ramlochan v R [1956] AC 475, 2 All ER 577n (PC). The rule derives from the need to ensure the dignity of the office conferred upon superior court judges: R v Gazard (1838) 8 Car & P 595, 173 ER 633. Inferior judges and court officers may be compelled to give such evidence, however, if a situation arises where their evidence is vital, they should be able to be relied on and not allow the fact that he is not compellable to stand in the way of his giving evidence: Warren v Warren [1997] QB 488. In relation to any matter not related to a judicial function, judges are in the same position as any other civilian witness. See also Compellable. 一項公共政策規則，禁止被強制作證的法官就他們主審的案件作證：Ramlochan v R [1956] AC 475, 2 All ER 577n (樞密院)。該規則派生自要確保賦予高級法院法官職務之尊嚴此一需要：R v Gazard (1838) 8 Car & P 595, 173 ER 633。下級法院法官及法院人員可被強制作證，當他們的證據是極其重要時，他們應可被依賴，而不能容許他們為不可強制作證的證人這一事實，而阻礙他們作證：Warren v Warren [1997] QB 488。就與司法職能無關的事宜，法官與其他證人的地位相同。另見 Compellable。 |
