释义 | 公共文件 1. In the law of evidence, a document of such a public nature as to be admissible in evidence on its mere production from the proper custody. The following categories of documents are, subject to public availability, treated as public documents: public enactments, government gazettes; public registers; public surveys, assessments and reports; official certificates; books of corporations; histories, scientific works and works of reference: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 12, Evidence [175.076]. In any civil proceedings public documents, for example public registers, and returns made under public authority with respect to matters of public interest, are admissible as evidence of facts stated in them: Evidence Ordinance (Cap 8) s 52(2)(b). If a document is of a public nature, it is admissible in evidence on its mere production from proper custody without further proof: s 18. 2. A document that is made for the purpose of the public making use of it, and being able to refer to it, particularly where there is a judicial, or quasi-judicial, duty to inquire; its very object must be that it should be made for the purpose of being kept public, so that the persons concerned in it may have access to it afterwards: Sturla v Freccia (1880) 5 App Cas 623, [1874-80] All ER Rep 657 (HL). A report made to parliament by a public body is not a public document, as it was not brought into existence for the purpose of public reference, even though the document may be available to the public. 3. In relation to a corporation, any document the public has a right of access to.
