| 释义 | 幫訴罪 An aggravated form of maintenance in which the consideration given for the maintenance of a suit is part of anything gained as the result of the proceedings, or some other profit: Trendtex Trading Corp v Credit Suisse [1982] AC 679. Champerty implies a bargain of some sort between a litigating party and another person who has no interest in the subject in dispute, to divide the property sued for between them if they prevail, in consideration of the other person carrying on the suit at his or her own expense: Cannonway Consultant Ltd v Kenworth Engineering Ltd [1995] 1 HKC 179, 2 HKLR 475.

It is an indictable offence and the penalty is imprisonment for up to seven years and a fine: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 101I(1). The doctrine of champerty does not extend from public justice to a private consensual system, such as arbitration: Giles v Thompson [1993] All ER 321; Cannonway Consultant Ltd v Kenworth Engineering Ltd, supra.
