| 单词 | Proof of age |
| 释义 | 年齡證明 Documentary material that may reasonably be accepted as applying to a particular person which proves that he or she is of a certain age. For example, an identity card or other document showing the person’s name and date or birth amounts to proof of age. An extract from a register of births, which is proved to be an examined copy or extract, or which purports to be signed and certified as a true copy or extract by the officer entrusted with custody of the original, is sufficient evidence of age if the person concerned is identified as the person named in the extract: Evidence Ordinance (Cap 8) s 18. Age may also be proved by various means, including the statement by a witness of his own age and the opinion of a witness as to the age of another person (R v Cox [1898] 1 QB 179), but when age is in issue stricter methods of proof may be required (R v Rogers (1914) 111 LT 1115, 10 Cr App Rep 276 (CCA)). In these cases age may be proved by the admission of a party (R v Turner [1910] 1 KB 346 (CCA); by the evidence of a witness who was present at the birth of the person concerned (R v Nicholls (1867) 16 LT 466); or by the production of a birth certificate, supplemented by evidence identifying the person whose birth is thereby certified (R v Rogers, supra); by the oral or written declarations of deceased persons; and in civil proceedings, by the statements in writing of persons (Evidence Ordinance (Cap 8) s 47). In certain criminal and other cases in which the age of a person is material, the age will be presumed or deemed to be what appears to the court to be his age at the relevant time after considering any available evidence (Juvenile Offenders Ordinance (Cap 226) s 19; Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 106A). 可合理地被接受為適用於某特定人士以證明他或她是某一年齡的文件材料。舉例，身份證或其他顯示某人的名字及出生日期的文件，均可構成年齡證明。出生登記冊的摘錄，如經證明為經審核副本或摘錄，或如看來是由受託保管正本的人員簽署和核證為真實副本或摘錄，而有關的人士亦被識辨為摘錄上的人，則該摘錄可成為充分的證據：《證據條例》（第8章）第18條。年齡可藉不同方法證明，包括證人就自己年齡所作的陳述，或證人就另一人的年齡所提供的意見(R v Cox [1898] 1 QB 179)，但假如年齡受爭議，則可能需要嚴謹一點的證明方法 (R v Rogers (1914) 111 LT 1115, 10 Cr App Rep 276 （英國上訴法院）)。在這種情況下，年齡可藉一方的認罪證明 (R v Turner [1910] 1 KB 346 （英國上訴法院）；藉有關人士出生時的在場證人的作供(R v Nicholls (1867) 16 LT 466)；或藉出生證明書的提交，並附上識別據該出生證明書核證出生的該人的補充證明 (R v Rogers, supra)；藉死者的口頭聲明或書面聲明；以及在民事法律程序中，有關人士的書面陳述（《證據條例》（第8章）第47條）。在某人的年齡屬關鍵性的某些刑事及其他案件中，法庭在考慮任何可得證據後，覺得該人為某年齡，則該年齡須被推定或當作是該人在關鍵時的年齡（《少年犯條例》（第226章）第19條；《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第106A條）。 |
