| 释义 | 法定最高刑罰 The highest level of punishment that may be passed when sentencing. Generally, so far as imprisonment and the imposition of a fine is concerned, the penalty expressed in a statute is the maximum penalty that may be imposed. Where a penalty is prescribed for an offence in any Ordinance such a provision implies that the offence is punishable, upon conviction, by a penalty not exceeding the penalty prescribed; and if the amount of the fine is unspecified, that the offence will, without prejudice to any law against excessive of unreasonable fines or assessments, be punishable by a fine of any amount: Criminal Procedure Ordinance (Cap 221) s 101F. Subject to any principle or rule relating to particular offences, a court has a wide discretion in imposing sentence up to the maximum allowed, the maximum being reserved for the worst cases: R v Pang Chun Wai [1993] 1 HKC 233, [1994] 1 HKCLR 137. See also Sentence; Statutory minimum. 在判形時可判處最高年期的懲罰。就監禁及判以罰款而言，任何法規明訂的刑罰一般是可施加的最高刑罰。凡條例就該條例內的罪項訂明刑罰，該等條文有下述含義(a)罪行裁定成立後，可判處不超逾該條例所訂明的刑罰；及(b)如罰款並無指定限額，可就該罪判罰任何款額，但本規定無損於管制過高或不合理罰款額、評估額的法律：《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第101F條。在不抵觸任何關於個別罪行原則或規則的情況下，法院有廣泛的酌情決定權施加刑罰至准予的最高年期，而最高的年期會保留予最惡劣的案件：R v Pang Chun Wai [1993] 1 HKC 233, [1994] 1 HKCLR 137。另見 Sentence; Statutory minimum。 |
