| 单词 | Shifting onus of proof |
| 释义 | 轉移舉證責任 The moving of the burden of proof in proceedings from one party to another during the course of the proceedings. The general rule of evidence is that the party who alleges any matter in issue must prove it and the burden of proof lies at first on the party against whom judgment would be given if no evidence at all were adduced. When such party has given sufficient evidence to entitle judgment if no further evidence were given, the burden of proof shifts to the other party, and may shift repeatedly upon any particular issue. In criminal proceedings, the general burden of proof lies on the prosecution: Woolmington v DPP [1935] AC 462; R v Cheung Yuk Lan [1987] 1 HKC 442. See also Burden of proof; Evidence; Evidential burden; Legal burden. 在法律程序的審訴過程中，舉證責任由一方轉移至另一方。證據的一般原則在於宣稱任何爭議事項的當事人必須證明有關的事項，而舉證責任首先在於如幾乎沒有援引證據，便會被判決的一方。如此方已作出充分的證據以獲判決，倘若沒有作出進一步的證據，舉證責任便會轉移至另一方，及可就任何個別爭議點重複轉移舉證責任。在刑事法律程序，一般的舉證責任在於控方：Woolmington v DPP [1935] AC 462；R v Cheung Yuk Lan [1987] 1 HKC 442。 另見 Burden of proof; Evidence; Evidential burden; Legal burden。 |
