| 单词 | Prima facie case |
| 释义 | 有表面證據之案件 The sufficiency of evidence upon which a person could be convicted of an offence or taking the evidence of the prosecution at its highest, evidence which is capable of proving the elements of the offence beyond reasonable doubt. The issue is whether a jury properly directed ‘may’ convict as opposed to whether it ‘will’ or ‘must’ convict: R v Galbraith [1981] 2 All ER 1060, 73 Cr App Rep 124, 1 WLR 1039. The test in deciding whether there is a prima facie case is to see if there is evidence which, if uncontradicted, would justify men of ordinary reason and fairness in affirming the proposition which the proponent is bound to maintain, having regard to the degree of proof demanded by the law with regard to that particular issue: Cross and Tapper on Evidence (9th Ed, 1999, Butterworths) pp 171-172. The court is under no duty to give reasons for determining whether there is a case to answer: Yip Bun Keung v HKSAR (FAMC 3/2001, unreported). 某人可因證據是否充分而被判有罪或以檢控證據的極端而言，可證明罪行的元素無合理疑點的證據。問題是陪審員獲適當指示，證據「可」證明有罪而不是是否「會」或「必定」證明有罪: R v Galbraith [1981] 1 WLR 1039。決定案件是否有表面證據之測試在乎，如有沒有抵觸的證據，可使有普通理由和公平的人在考慮到就該特別的問題法律所要求的證明程度，信服肯定提出者堅持的建議: Cross and Tapper on Evidence（第9版，1999年，Butterworths）第171-172頁。法庭沒有責任在決定案件是否可答辯時給與理由: Yip Bun Keung v HKSAR（終院刑事雜項案件2001年第3號，未經彙報）。 |
