| 单词 | Discharge of juror |
| 释义 | 解除陪審員 The relieving of juror from their responsibilities after the case starts. The judge has the discretionary power to discharge the jury or a juror. However, this discretionary power could be exercised only when there is a high degree of need but might not be based on the interest of justice: Winsor v R (1866) LR 1 QB 289; Jury Ordinance (Cap 3) s 25(1). The order of discharge should be made in open court and in presence of the accused: R v Richardson [1913] 1 KB 395, 29 TLR 228. The judge in a trial, prior to verdicts, may discharge the jury or juror(s) under the following circumstances: if the jury hear inadmissible evidence or material prejudicial to an accused (R v Wong Chung Ling [1995] 2 HKCLR 179, 3 HKC 82 (HC)); if a juror demonstrates bias or misconduct himself; if the circumstances make continuing the trial impractical, such as the illness of the accused, a major witness or a juror (R v Hornsey [1990] Crim LR 731 (CA)); or if there is an attempt to influence jury or jurors (R v Spencer, R v Smails [1987] AC 128, [1986] All ER 928 (HL)). 指（法官）在案件開審後解除陪審員的職責。法官有解除陪審團或任何陪審員職責的酌情決定權。但只可在高度有需要的情況（但不一定是基於司法公正的原因）下才可行使此等酌情權，；但考：insor v R (1866) LR 1 QB 289；《陪審員條例》（第3章）第25(1)條。應在公開法庭及被告人在場的情況下作出解除陪審員的命令：R v Richardson [1913] 1 KB 395，29 TLR 228。法官在審訊時，可在陪審團作出裁決前，按照下列的情況解除陪審團或任何陪審員：陪審團聆聽了對被告人不利的不得被接納的證據或證供( v Wong Chung Ling [1995] 2 HKCLR 179，3 HKC 82 （高等法院）)；可證明陪審員本身有偏袒或行為不當(R v Binley and Walsh (1912) 31 NZLR 949)；有關情況使審訊實際上不能繼續進行，例如被告人、主要證人或陪審員生病R v Charlesworths (1861) 1 B & S 460, 9 Cox CC 44, 121 ER 786；R v Berry (1876) 1 QBD 447；R v Hornsey [1990] Crim LR 731 （芵國上訴法院）)；有人企圖影響陪審團或陪審員(R v Spencer，R v Smails [1987] AC 128, [1986] All ER 928 （上議院）)。 |
