| 单词 | Statutory offence |
| 释义 | 法定罪行 An offence created and defined by statute. There is a presumption that in every statutory offence there is a requirement that the prosecution prove mens rea even where the offence is defined only in terms of the actus reus of the offence: A-G v Shun Shing Construction and Engineering Co Ltd [1986] HKLR 311 (CA). The presumption that mens rea appropriate to the offence is an ingredient of such an offence, may be displaced either by the statute creating the offence or by reference to the subject matter with which it deals: Gammon (Hong Kong) Ltd v A-G [1985] 2 HKC 661, [1985] 1 AC 1 (PC). The presumption that mens rea is an element of a statutory offence may only be displaced where a statute is dealing with a matter of social concern and even where this can be established, it must be shown that the creation of strict liability will promote the objects of the statute by encouraging greater vigilance: Gammon (Hong Kong) Ltd v A-G [1985] 2 HKC 661, 1 AC 1 (PC); R v Fanta Construction Co [1996] 4 HKC 468 (CA). See also Offence. 籍法規設定及界定的罪行。就任何法定罪行而言，即使如某罪行只以該等罪行的犯罪行為界定範圍，但推定控方須證明有犯罪意圖：A-G v Shun Shing Construction and Engineering Co Ltd [1986] HKLR 311（上訴法庭）。如設定有關罪行的法規或有關法規處理的標的事項另有規定，則可免除罪行的有關犯罪意圖是該等罪行的要素這一推定： Gammon (Hong Kong) Ltd v A-G [1985] 2 HKC 661, [1985] 1 AC 1（樞密院）。如某法規正處理一項社會關注的事宜，即使可以確立有關事宜，但必須顯示嚴格法律責任的產生會籍鼓勵提高警惕而可促進有關法規的宗旨，則才可免除犯罪意圖是法定罪行的元素這一推定：Gammon (Hong Kong) Ltd v A-G [1985] 2 HKC 661, 1 AC 1（樞密院）; R v Fanta Construction Co [1996] 4 HKC 468（上訴法庭）。另見 Offence。 |
