區域法院法官(2017年起)

繁體中文

翁喬奇,香港區域法院法官,一九六○年在香港出生。他一九八八年取得倫敦大學(校外)法學士學位;一九八九年及一九九二年分別通過英國法律教育委員會的大律師公會期終試(校外),以及英格蘭法律學院的律師資格認許考試(校外),由大律師轉為事務律師。他一九九○年在英格蘭及威爾斯(格雷律師學院)取得大律師資格,一九九二年及一九九三年分別在英格蘭及威爾斯和香港取得事務律師資格。他一九九三年起私人執業,直至二○○六年獲委任為常任裁判官。 二○一七年一月二十三日,翁喬奇獲委任為區域法院法官,與葛倩兒、陳玉芬、黃禮榮、廖文健和黎達祥同日履新,任命由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦作出。他的專業資歷橫跨大律師與事務律師兩個分支,並曾在英格蘭及威爾斯與香港兩地執業,對不同司法管轄區的實務有一定認識。 區域法院是香港的原訟法院之一,處理中等金額的民事申索及較嚴重的刑事案件,判刑上限一般為七年監禁,法官由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦委任。由私人執業轉任裁判官、再晉升為區域法院法官,翁喬奇累積了十多年的司法經驗;《基本法》第九十二條規定法官應按司法及專業才能選用,可從不同背景的法律人才中物色人選,他兼具兩種專業資格的經歷正是一例。 區域法院的法官往往需要在刑事與民事兩方面的工作之間靈活轉換,曾兼備兩種專業資格的人選,在處理不同性質案件時或更具優勢。他在裁判法院任職十年後才獲擢升,是司法機構內部晉升的又一例子。

Yung Kiu-kei is a judge of the District Court of Hong Kong, born in Hong Kong in 1960. He obtained an LL.B. (external) from the University of London in 1988. In 1989 and 1992 he passed the Bar Finals Examination of the Council of Legal Education (external) and the solicitors' admission examination of the College of Law, England (external), converting from barrister to solicitor. He was called to the Bar in England and Wales (Gray's Inn) in 1990 and qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales in 1992 and in Hong Kong in 1993. He went into private practice in 1993 and was appointed a Permanent Magistrate in 2006. On 23 January 2017, Yung was appointed a District Judge, taking office with Kot Sin-yi, Chan Yuk-fan, Wong Lai-wing, Liu Man-kin and Lai Tat-cheung; the appointment was made by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. His credentials span both branches of the profession, barrister and solicitor, and he has practised in England and Wales as well as Hong Kong, giving him an understanding of practice in more than one jurisdiction. The District Court is one of Hong Kong's original courts. It deals with civil claims of moderate value and the more serious criminal cases, with a sentencing limit generally of seven years' imprisonment; its judges are appointed by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. Moving from private practice to the magistracy and then to the District Court, Yung has accumulated more than a decade of judicial experience; Article 92 of the Basic Law provides that judges shall be chosen on the basis of their judicial and professional qualities and may be drawn from different backgrounds, and his dual professional qualification illustrates this. District Court judges must move flexibly between criminal and civil work, and a candidate with qualifications in both branches of the profession may have an edge in handling cases of different kinds; after entering the Judiciary he served ten years in the magistracy before his promotion, a further example of internal advancement.
