| 单词 | Duplicity |
| 释义 | 兩重性 An information or a single count of indictment alleges two or more offences against an accused: DPP v Merriman [1972] 3 All ER 42, [1973] AC 584. Where more than one offence is charged in an indictment, the statement and particulars of each offence shall be set out in a separate count: Indictment Rules (Cap 221C) r 2(2). The rule against duplicity contributes to a fair trial by enabling the accused to know the charge he is called upon to answer and the jury to find its conviction upon the specific offence charged: Chim Hon Man v HKSAR [1999] 1 HKLRD 765, 1 HKC 428, 2 HKCFAR 145 (CFA). An indictment reveals an allegation of one offence, the fact that the evidence reveals more than one offence does not render the indictment duplicitous: R v Greenfield [1973] 1 WLR 1151, 3 All ER 1050, 57 Cr App R 849; A-G’s Reference No 1 of 1987 [1988] 1 HKLR 374. However, an information or a single count of indictment will not be duplicitous because it relates to more than one act of an accused where those acts can be seen to be part of the same transaction: DPP v Merriman, supra. See also Bill of indictment; Charge; Indictment. 公訴書的資料或單一的罪名 在針對某被告的情況下指稱多於一項的罪行： DPP v Merriman [1972] 3 All ER 42, [1973] AC 584。凡公訴書內控告的罪行多於一項，則每項罪行的陳述及詳情，須以獨立段落列出，每一段落稱為一項罪名：《公訴書規則》(第221C章) 第2(2)條規則。由於被告知悉他／她被傳召答辯的有關檢控，以及有關的陪審團會就被控的特殊罪行作出有罪的裁斷，所以針對兩重性的規則可助成公平的審訊：Chim Hon Man v HKSAR [1999] 1 HKLRD 765, 1 HKC 428, 2 HKCFAR 145 (終審法院)。公訴書是揭露某罪行的指稱，即使有關證據事實上揭露多於一項罪行，亦不會令致有關的公訴書重複而無用：R v Greenfield [1973] 1 WLR 1151, 3 All ER 1050, 57 Cr App R 849; A-G’s Reference No 1 of 1987 [1988] 1 HKLR 374。如公訴書涉及被告多於一項的行為，但該等行為可被視為相同事務的一部分，則公訴書的某項資料或單一的罪名不會是重複而無用的：DPP v Merriman,見上文。另見 Bill of indictment; Charge; Indictment。n. |
