| 单词 | Sworn evidence |
| 释义 | 經宣誓證據 Evidence given on an oath in public, court proceedings, tribunal or inquiry. Evidence given on oath is not limited to evidence given in court proceedings but also includes affidavit or affirmation sworn: R v Pentonville Prison Governor, ex p Fernandez [1971] 1 WLR 459. Sworn evidence is one of the cornerstones of the common law system, such evidence if given in public belongs to the public and cannot be hidden up or changed or withdrawn. No legal principle allows the court to invalidate or nullify sworn evidence made as it never came into existence: Wong Sin Hua Felix v The Insider Trading Tribunal (CACV 96/2001, unreported). In comparing with unsworn evidence or evidence tendered from counsel’s table, sworn evidence would be given more weight by the court: Ping Kai Engineering Co Ltd v Hong Kong Teakwood Works Ltd (HCCT 2/2001, unreported). A magistrate is entitled and bound to accept sworn evidence of duly qualified person as sufficient evidence of an extradition crime: In the matter of Choi Sze Yuen otherwise Uncle Choi and his proposed extradition to United States of America and in the matter of Habeas Corpus Ad Subjiciendum (HCMP 2907/91, unreported). See also Affirmation; Oath. 在公開場合、法庭法律程序、審裁處或研訊作出誓言的證據。以誓言作出的證據並不限於在法庭法律程序作出的證據，但亦包括誓章或經宣誓的非宗教式誓詞：R v Pentonville Prison Governor, ex p Fernandez [1971] 1 WLR 459。經宣誓證據是普通法制度的基石，此等證據如以公開的形式作出，則屬於公眾並且不可予以隱藏、改變或撤回。沒有法律上的原則准予法庭使經宣誓證據作廢或失效，使其一如從沒有存在過：Wong Sin Hua Felix (aka Felix Wong) v The Insider Trading Tribunal（民事上訴，2001年第96號，未經彙報）。在比較未經宣誓證據或從大律師桌上提交的證據，法庭會給予經宣誓證據較重的份量：Ping Kai Engineering Co Ltd v Hong Kong Teakwood Works Ltd （高院建築及仲裁訴訟2001年第2/號，未經彙報）。裁判官有權及必須接受符合適當資格的人的經宣誓證據，以作為引渡罪的充分證據：In the matter of Choi Sze Yuen otherwise Uncle Choi and his proposed extradition to United States of America and in the matter of Habeas Corpus Ad Subjiciendum （高院雜項案件，91年第907號，未經彙報）。另見 Affirmation; Oath.。 |
