| 单词 | Scandalising the court |
| 释义 | 惡意中傷法庭 Any act done or writing published which is calculated to bring a court or a judge into contempt, or to lower his authority, or to interfere with the due course of justice or the lawful process of the court, is a contempt of court: Wong Yeung Ng v S-J [1999] 2 HKLRD 293, 2 HKC 24 (CA); S-J v Oriental Press Group Ltd [1998] 2 HKC 627. Only scandalising courts of justice properly so-called and judges of such court is a contempt: Badry v DPP of Mauritius [1983] 2 AC 297, [1982] 3 All ER 973, [1983] 2 WLR 161 (PC). The punishment is inflicted, not for the purpose of protecting either the court as a whole or the individual judges of the court from a repetition of the attack, but of protecting the public, and especially those who either voluntarily or by compulsion are subject to the jurisdiction of the court, from the mischief they will incur if the authority of the tribunal is undermined or impaired: R v Davies [1906] 1 KB 32. In consequence, the court has regarded with particular seriousness allegations of partiality or bias on the part of a judge or a court: Wong Yeung Ng v S-J, supra. On the other hand, criticism of a judge’s conduct or of the conduct of a court (R v Metropolitan Police Cmr, ex p Blackburn (No 2) [1968] 2 QB 150, 2 All ER 319 (CA), even if strongly worded or misguided, is not a contempt provided that the criticism is fair, temperate and made in good faith (Edwards v Almao (No 3) [1957] HKLR 269) and is not directed to the personal character of a judge or to the impartiality of a judge or court (Ambard v A-G for Trinidad and Tobago [1936] AC 322, 1 All ER 704 (PC)). See also Contempt of court; Criminal contempt. 如任何作出的行為或公布的文字紀錄，旨在刻意藐視法庭或法官，或降低其權力或干預正當的司法公正或法庭的合法程序，則均屬藐視法庭：Wong Yeung Ng v S-J [1999] 2 HKLRD 293, 2 HKC 24（上訴法庭）；S-J v Oriental Press Group Ltd [1998] 2 HKC 627。只有惡意中傷適當地所謂的公正的法庭及有關法院的法官才屬藐視：Badry v DPP of Mauritius [1983] 2 AC 297, [1982] 3 All ER 973, [1983] 2 WLR 161 （樞密院）。處以懲罰的目的不在於保障法院整體或法院個別的法官免再受攻擊，以是為保障公眾，特別是自願地或被強迫受制於法庭司法管轄權的人（如審裁處的權力受到破壞或損害），免受他們會引致的損害：R v Davies [1906] 1 KB 32。因而法庭顧及個別宣稱法官或法庭偏袒或偏私的嚴重性：Wong Yeung Ng v S-J,見上文。另一方面，如對法官的行為或法庭的行為的批評 （R v Metropolitan Police Cmr, ex p Blackburn (No 2) [1968] 2 QB 150, 2 All ER 319 （英國上訴法院））公正，適度及以真誠作出 (Edwards v Almao (No 3) [1957] HKLR 269) 且非針對法官的個人品格或法官或法庭的公正性(Ambard v A-G for Trinidad and Tobago [1936] AC 322, 1 All ER 704 (樞密院))，即使其措詞強烈或含有錯誤引導的成分，則並非藐視。另見 Contempt of court; Criminal contempt。 |
