单词 | Retrial |
释义 | 重審 A rehearing of a matter for which there has already been a previous trial. Following a successful appeal, a retrial may be ordered if this is in the interest of justice: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 83E(1). The relevant considerations include: (i) the seriousness of the offence, the history of the proceedings, the evidence for both prosecution and defence, the complexity or otherwise of the trial, the reasons for success of the appeal, the lapse of time since the alleged offence and since the trial, the length of sentence which the appellant may have served: R v Holgate (No 2) [1996] 3 HKC 324. A retrial should not be ordered if there is no prospect for a conviction: R v Holgate (No 2), supra. The Court may grant a second re-trial: R v Lam Ming Kwong [1984] HKC 237 (CA). An order for re-trial would not be an abuse of the process of the court: R v Wong Chung-ling [1995] 3 HKC 82, 2 HKCLR 179. The court is not bound to impose the same punishment upon the defendant if he is convicted in the retrial: R v Chan Chung Chiu [1987] 3 HKC 144. Where a re-trial is ordered, the accused must be tried on a fresh indictment: s 83F(1). On a re-trial there are some changes to the rules of evidence. Depositions ordinarily admissible in criminal proceedings of persons who gave evidence at the original trial or written statements tendered at committal proceedings are not admissible: sch 6 para 1. See also Miscarriage of justice; Procedural fairness; Trial. 重審之前已經有審訴的案件。在上訴得直後,如重審合乎司法公正的原則,可命令重審:《刑事訴訟程序條例》(第221章)第83E(1)條。有關的考慮包括:(i)罪行的嚴重性,以往的法律訴訟程序,控方及辯方的證據,審訴的複雜程度或其他問題,上訴得直的理由,被指稱的罪行及審訴的時效喪失,上訴人或已服的刑期:R v Holgate (No 2) [1996] 3 HKC 324。如不可能有定罪判決,便不應命令重審: R v Holgate (No 2), 見上文。法院可作出第二次重審的命令:R v Lam Ming Kwong [1984] HKC 237 (上訴法庭)。重審的命令不會是濫用法院程序:R v Wong Chung-ling [1995] 3 HKC 82, 2 HKCLR 179。如被告在重審時被定罪,法院不必對被告加諸相同的懲罰:R v Chan Chung Shiu [1987] 3 HKC 144。如作出命令將某人就某罪行重審,該人須就新的公訴書受審:第83F(1)條。在重審時,有若干證據規則的變更。不會接納一般在刑事法律程序中可獲接納的書面供詞(在原審中提供證據的人或在交付審判程序中提出的任何書面陳述):附表6第1段。另見 Miscarriage of justice; Procedural fairness; Trial。n. |
