The rule that an accused may only be convicted on the credible testimony of two or more witnesses. A person is not liable to be convicted of perjury solely upon the evidence of one witness as to the falsity of any statement alleged to be false: Crimes Ordinance (Cap 200) s 43. Therefore, a successful prosecution for perjury or subornation of perjury requires the evidence of more than one witness as to the falsity of a perjurer’s statement alleged to be false. There must be either the evidence of two witnesses or the evidence of one witness corroborated by some material fact. It is not necessary to have two witnesses as to the falsity of the appellant’s statement before the judge, all that is required is one witness who is corroborated by either another witness or documents: R v Lui Kwok Wai [1991] 2 HKC 149. No corroboration is required at all in the case where all the facts are admitted: R v Sabnini [1991] 1 HKC 579. See also Corroboration; Corroboration warning; Perjury.
被告人只可根據兩名或兩名以上的證人的可信證供而被定罪的規則。任何人不得僅因一名證人所作證供，指被指稱為虛假的陳述是虛假而被裁定犯宣誓下作假證供：《刑事罪行條例》（第200章）第4條。因此，就宣誓下作假證供或唆使他人在宣誓下作假證供而成功檢控，則須一名以上的證人，就宣誓下作假證供的人作出被指稱為虛假的陳述的真偽而所作的證供。必須有兩名證人作出的證供，或一名證人作出的證供及若干事關重要的事實以作為佐證。就上訴人於法官席前所作的陳述的真偽而言，不需兩名證人作出證供，而所需的是一名證人的證供及另一名證人的證供或某些文件以作為佐證：R v Lui Kwok Wai [1991] 2 HKC 149。當所有事實均獲接納，則無須任何佐證：R v Sabnini [1991] 1 HKC 579。另見 Corroboration; Corroboration warning; Perjury。
