| 单词 | Discharge |
| 释义 | 履行／解除 To relieve oneself, or to be relieved, of an obligation. Contract - 1. The extinguishment or release of obligations under a contract. A contract may be discharged in any one of four ways, namely, by performance, by agreement, by one party accepting the other’s breach as repudiation, and by frustration. For example, if a contract has become impossible of performance or been otherwise frustrated, and the parties thereto have for that reason been discharged from the further performance of contract, special provisions shall have effected to the parties: Law Amendment and Reform (Consolidation) Ordinance (Cap 23) ss 16, 17, 18. 2. Used to describe the effects of termination, whether for breach or repudiation, or under the doctrine of frustration. See also Breach of contract; Contract; Discharge by agreement; ; Estoppel; Frustration; Partial discharge; Repudiation; Termination. Criminal law - 1. An order made at the conclusion of committal proceedings when the magistrate is not satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to put the defendant upon his trial. An order discharging the defendant is not the same as acquittal and is not a bar to further proceedings against the defendant for the same charge: Magistrate Ordinance (Cap 227) s 85(1). A further prosecution by way of an ex officio indictment was an abuse of process: R v Manchester City Stipendiary Magistrate ex p Snelson (1977) 1 WLR 911, 66 Cr App R 44 (DC). 2. An order made on sentencing where the charge is proved but having regard to the character, antecedent, age, health or mental condition of the offender or to the trivial nature of the offence, the offender is released conditionally or absolutely: Magistrates Ordinance (Cap 227) s 36; Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) ss 107, 108. See also Abuse of process; Acquittal; Good behaviour bond. 解除自己的責，或獲解除責任。 合約 - 1. 終絕或免除合約項下的責任。可藉下列四種方法的任何其中一種解除合約責任：履行合約、協議解約、一方接受另一方的違約為悔約及因合約受挫失效。例如倘若已不可能履行有關合約或合約因其他原因而受挫失效，而合約各方因此而可以解除進一步履行有關合約的責任，在這種種情況下，特別指定的條文會對合約各方產生效力：《法律修訂及改革（綜合）條例》（第23章）第16、17及18條。 2. 用以描述終止合約的效力（不論是因為違約、悔約、或根據合約受挫失效的原則被）。另見 Breach of contract; Contract; Discharge by agreement; ; Estoppel; Frustration; Partial discharge; Repudiation; Termination。 刑法 - 1. 如有關的裁判官不信納有充分的證據以針對被控人交付審訊，則會在交付審判程序完結時作出的命令。將被控人釋放的命令有別於無罪釋放，亦非禁止就相同的控罪針對被控人作出進一步的法律程序：《裁判官條例》（第227章）第85(1)條。如藉當然公訴的方式作出進一步的檢控，即屬濫用法律程序：R v Manchester City Stipendiary Magistrate ex p Snelson (1977) 1 WLR 911, 66 Cr App R 44（英國地方法院）。 2.裁判官認為控罪已獲證實，但顧及被控人的秉性、經歷、年齡、健康或精神狀況，或顧及罪行的輕微性或可使罪責減輕的罪行發生時的情況，認為不宜處以任何懲罰或任何象徵式懲罰以外的懲罰，則裁判官在定罪後，可作出無條件釋放罪犯；或有條件釋放罪犯的命令：《裁判官條例》（第227章）第36條：《刑事訴訟程序條例》(第221章) 第107及108條。另見 Abuse of process; Acquittal; Good behaviour bond。n. |
