单词 Reasonable grounds
释义 合理理由
The motive for a person’s conduct or the basis for a state of mind (such as belief or suspicion) where, from an objective viewpoint, that motive or basis was just and appropriate in all the circumstances. For example in relation to a plea of self defence, the common law requires that the accused believed on reasonable grounds that the force used in self-defence was necessary: Devlin v Armstrong [1971] NI 13. In relation to plea of duress or compulsion which relies upon the accused’s belief of the threat, where the threats are not factually demonstrable, such belief has to be based on reasonable grounds: R v Graham [1982] 1 All ER 801, R v Howe, Bannister & Clarkson [1987] 1 AC 417, 1 All ER 771. Consent as a defence to prosecution for certain sexual offences, such as intercourse with a young person, may be based on the accused’s belief on reasonable grounds concerning the age of the person upon whom the offence is alleged to have been committed: Banks [1916] 2 KB 621. Having ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ involves subjective and objective elements. Objectively, it requires proof that there are grounds that a common-sense, right- thinking member of the community would consider sufficient to lead a person to hold a particular belief. Subjectively, it has to be proved that these grounds were known to the defendant. It is not necessary to prove that a reasonable man would have held to such a belief nor actual belief on the part of the defendants: Seng Yuet Fong v HKSAR [1999] 2 HKC 833 (CFA). See also Reasonable belief.
某人行為的動機或思想狀態的基礎(例如所信之事或懷疑)。從客觀的角度而言,有關的動機或基礎在所有的情況屬於公平及適當。例如就自衛的申辯而言,普通法規定被告基於合理理由相信在自衛時所使用的武力是有須要的:Devlin v Armstrong [1971] NI 13。就威脅或強迫而言,如有關的威脅並非事實上可表明,被告須基於合理理由相信會有威脅:R v Graham [1982] 1 All ER 801, R v Howe, Bannister & Clarkson [1987] 。在若干性罪行的檢控例如與年輕人發生性交,可以同意作為辯解,被告可基於相信有關人士的年齡為合理理由:Banks [1916] 2 KB 621。有 「合理理由相信」牽涉主觀和客觀因素。客觀而言,須要證明有理由在社會上有常識,正確思想的人會認為事實足夠引致有關人士相信特別的事情。主觀而言,須要證明被告知悉有關的理由。不須證明合理的人會如此相信,也不須證明被告實際上如此相信:HKSAR v Shing Siu Ming [1999] 2 HKC 818(上訴法庭);Seng Yuet Fong v HKSAR [1999] 2 HKC 833 (終審法院)。另見 Reasonable belief。
