| 释义 | 傾向 1. A state of mind or body rendering a person liable to act or behave in a certain way or making the person more susceptible to certain forms of illness. In tort, generally a defendant who commits a wrong takes his victim as he finds him: A-G v Chun Yat Nam [1995] 1 HKC 218. It is no answer to a claim for damages to say that the victim would have sustained no or less injury if he had not suffered from some pre-existing condition: Yip Mau Leung v University of Hong Kong [2000] 3 HKLRD 198. In assessing the quantum of damages, the sum will be discounted if the injuries suffered is also attributable to the victim’s pre-existing injury: Cheung Fat Tim v Wong Siu Ming (t/a Shui On Civil Contractors) (HCA 5079/91, unreported); Wong Hok Chuen v Tai Kam Kin (HCA 5331/85, unreported). 2. In criminal law, the predisposition of a defendant is relevant when considering the defence of diminished responsibility: HKSAR v Leung Wai Chung (CACC 85/98, unreported).
