| 单词 | Dismissal of proceedings |
| 释义 | 撤銷法律程序 An order for the termination of the plaintiff’s action in favour of the defendant. The court has express powers of dismissal in the cases where the plaintiff is required to but fails to serve on the defendant a statement of claim (The Rules of the High Court (Cap 4A) O 19 r 1); fails to comply with an order for discovery (O 24 r 16); fails to take out a summons for directions (O 25 r 1); fails to answer interrogatories (O 26 r 6); where the plaintiff does not set the trial down within a fixed period (O 34 r 2); or fails to lodge a preliminary act in an Admiralty action (O 75 r 19). The power to dismiss the action is discretionary and should only be exercised where the court is satisfied that the ‘default’ constituted conduct amounting to an abuse of process of the court: Yeung On Nan t/a Hing Ho International Group v Weizen Industry Co Ltd [1988] HKC 305 (CA). Where an action is dismissed not as a result of the merits of the case, the order for dismissal is no bar to the commencement of a fresh action unless the contrary is expressed in the order: Pople v Evans [1968] 2 All ER 743, [1969] 2 Ch 255. See also Dismissal; Discontinuance of proceedings; Non-suit. 指作出有利於被告人而終止原告人的訴訟的命令。如原告人按規定須向被告人送達申索陳述書而原告人沒有作此送達（《高等法院規則》（第4A章）第19號命令第1條規則）；任何一方沒有遵從作文件透露的命令（第24號命令第16條規則）；沒有取得要求作指示的傳票（第25號命令第1條規則）；任何一方沒有答覆質詢書（第26號命令第6條規則）；原告人沒有在定出的限期內將訴訟排期審訊（第34號命令第2條規則）；在海事法律程序中，原告人沒有遞交預備文件（第75號命令第19條規則），則法庭有明訂權力撤銷有關的案件。撤銷有關案件的權力屬酌情決定權，並僅在有關法庭信納有關的「過失」構成相當於濫用法院程序的行為才可行使此等權力：Yeung On Nan t/a Hing Ho International Group v Weizen Industry Co Ltd [1988] HKC 305（上訴法庭）。凡並非因個案的是非曲直而撤銷有關的訴訟，則除非有關的命令明示相反規定，否則該撤銷命令不可禁止展開新訴訟：Pople v Evans [1968] 2 All ER 743，[1969] 2 Ch 255。另見 Dismissal; Discontinuance of proceedings; Non-suit。 |
