| 单词 | Extra-judicial confession |
| 释义 | 法庭外的供認 As opposed to judicial confession made in the course of proceedings when the accused enters a plea of guilty, the accused may make an out of court statement admitting his guilt. In any proceedings, such confession may be given in evidence as an exception to the rule against hearsay against the accused so far as it is relevant and is given by the accused voluntarily: Ibrahim v R [1914] AC 559; S-J v Lam Tat-ming & Anor [2000] 2 HKLRD 431, 2 HKC 693; Rules and Directions for the Questioning of Suspects and the Taking of Statements made by the Secretary for Security, note (e). However, even if such an extra-judicial confession was made voluntarily, the court has a discretion to exclude admissible evidence after considering all the circumstances of an individual case including breaches of Rules and Directions: R v Sang [1980] AC 402, [1979] 2 All ER 1222 (HL); R v Lai Kin Ming [1984] HKC 1 (CA); R v Leung Cheuk Faw [1984] HKC 374 (CA); R v Lam Yip Ying [1984] HKLR 419. See also Admission; Confession; Discretion; Hearsay. 被告人除可在法律程序的過程中作出司法上的供認外（即作出有罪的答辯），被告人亦可在法庭外作出承認其控罪的陳述。在任何的法律程序中，在針對被告的情況下，可給予此等供認作為針對傳聞規則的例外情況的證據，但應是有關的以及被告是在自願的情況下給予的：Ibrahim v R [1914] AC 559; S-J v Lam Tat-ming & Anor [2000] 2 HKLRD 431, 2 HKC 693; 保安局局長訂立的《查問疑犯及錄取口供的規則及指示》註釋 (e)。但即使此等法庭外的供認是在自願的情況下作出的，有關的法庭在考慮個別案件的所有情況後（包括違反《查問疑犯及錄取口供的規則及指示》），具有排除可獲接納的證據的酌情權： R v Sang [1980] AC 402, [1979] 2 All ER 1222 （上議院）; R v Lai Kin Ming [1984] HKC 1 （上訴法庭）; R v Leung Cheuk Faw [1984] HKC 374 （上訴法庭）; R v Lam Yip Ying [1984] HKLR 419。另見 Admission; Confession; Discretion; Hearsay。 |
