单词 | Premeditation |
释义 | 預先策劃 Aforethought; sufficient thought of consideration before an act to impute deliberation or intent to commit the act. In the past, premeditation or malice aforethought was thought to be an essential element of murder. However, the law of murder no longer places emphasis on premeditation: Tsang Cho Fan v R [1965] HKLR 227 (FC). The absence of premeditation is a prerequisite for the success of the defence of provocation. The defence of provocation applies where the intent to kill or to inflict grievous bodily harm arose from sudden and temporary loss of self-control rendering the accused so subject to passion as to make him, for the moment, not the master of his own mind: Homicide Ordinance (Cap 339) s 4; HKSAR v Manjit Singh [2001] 4 HKC 366 (CA). See also Aforethought; Intention; Provocation. 預謀﹔再三考慮後付諸實行前的充份思考或意圖作出行動。從前認為預先策劃或預懷惡意是謀殺的重要元素。但有關謀殺的法律再不著重預先策劃: Tsang Cho Fan v R [1965] HKLR 227 (全體法院)。沒有預先策劃是激怒辯護成功的先決條件 。激怒的辯護適用, 如意圖謀殺或引起重大身體損傷是由於突然的或暫時的失去自制能力﹔致使被告迫於感情蒙蔽下﹐使其在那一刻不能控制自己的思想: 《殺人罪行條例》 (第339章) 第四條; HKSAR v Manjit Singh [2001] 4 HKC 366 (上訴法庭)。另見 Aforethought; Intention; Provocation。n. |
