區域法院法官(2024年起)

繁體中文

林展程(Lam Chin-ching),香港區域法院法官,一九八一年在香港出生。他分別於二○○三年、二○○四年及二○○五年在香港大學取得工商管理學學士(法學)學位、法學士學位及法學專業證書,二○○六年赴美國哈佛大學法學院取得法律碩士學位。他在二○○七年在香港獲大律師資格,並於同年開始私人執業。他先後於二○一六年至二○一八年、二○二○年,以及二○二二年至二○二四年期間獲委任為區域法院暫委法官及高等法院暫委副司法常務官。 二○二四年八月二十七日,司法機構宣布委任林展程為區域法院法官,任命於同年八月二十八日起生效,由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦作出。司法機構年報亦把這項任命列為二○二四年內生效的多項司法任命之一。 區域法院是香港的原訟法院之一,級別僅次於高等法院,處理款額中等的民事申索,以及除最嚴重罪行以外的刑事案件,法官判刑上限一般為七年監禁;法院並設家事法庭,處理婚姻及子女等事宜。區域法院的法官須同時具備處理刑事及民事案件的能力,資歷全面的法官往往更能應付多元的案件。 林展程先後在本地與海外接受法律教育,其工商管理學與法學的複合背景,加上哈佛法學院的法律碩士訓練,為其審理商業及民事爭議提供不同視角;他由大律師私人執業轉入司法機構,在正式成為區域法院法官前已多次以暫委身分在區域法院及高等法院工作,對兩級法院的實務並不陌生。 香港司法機構在委任實任法官前,常先安排合適人選以暫委或署任方式處理審判工作,以評核其表現;林展程自二○一六年起多次出任暫委區域法院法官及高等法院暫委副司法常務官,正是這類安排的一部分。他熟悉區域法院與高等法院的運作,亦能勝任不同審級的工作。

English

Lam Chin-ching is a District Judge of Hong Kong, born in Hong Kong in 1981. He obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration (Law), an LL.B. and a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws from the University of Hong Kong in 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively, and in 2006 obtained an LL.M. from Harvard Law School in the United States. He was called to the Hong Kong Bar in 2007 and began private practice in the same year. He sat as a Deputy District Judge and a Deputy Registrar of the High Court between 2016 and 2018, in 2020, and between 2022 and 2024. On 27 August 2024 the Judiciary announced his appointment as a District Judge with effect from 28 August 2024, made by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. The Judiciary's annual report includes the appointment among those taking effect in 2024. The District Court is a court of first instance immediately below the High Court, hearing civil claims of moderate value and criminal cases short of the most serious, with a sentencing power generally capped at seven years' imprisonment; it also has a Family Court dealing with matrimonial and children's matters. Its judges must be able to handle both criminal and civil business, and those with a broad background are often better placed to deal with the court's diverse caseload. Educated in Hong Kong and abroad, with a combined background in business administration and law and postgraduate training at Harvard, Lam brings a different perspective to commercial and civil disputes. Having moved from practice at the Bar into the Judiciary, he had already served repeatedly on a deputy basis in both the District Court and the High Court.The Judiciary often first assigns suitable candidates to hear cases as deputies or in an acting capacity in order to assess their performance; Lam's service from 2016 as a Deputy District Judge and Deputy Registrar of the High Court is part of that arrangement. He is familiar with the operation of both the District Court and the High Court and is able to work at different levels of the court structure.
