區域法院法官(2017年起)

繁體中文

葛倩兒,香港區域法院法官,一九六○年在香港出生。她一九八九年取得倫敦大學(校外)法學士學位,二○一○年在香港大學取得法學碩士學位;一九九一年分別在英格蘭及威爾斯(格雷律師學院)及香港取得大律師資格。她一九九二年起私人執業,直至一九九七年獲委任為常任裁判官,其後在裁判法院任職多年,累積大量刑事審訊經驗。 二○一七年一月二十三日,葛倩兒獲委任為區域法院法官,與她同日獲委任的還有黎達祥、翁喬奇、陳玉芬、黃禮榮和廖文健;任命由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦作出。裁判法院是香港的初級刑事法院,處理絕大部分刑事案件,裁判官日常須處理大量案件,是司法機構累積審訊經驗的重要崗位。 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;區域法院法官由行政長官根據司法人員推薦委員會的推薦委任,任命以《基本法》為依據。由裁判官晉升為區域法院法官,需要具備豐富的審訊經驗及良好的司法表現,司法機構在甄選時會考慮人選的專業能力與資歷。葛倩兒由大律師轉任裁判官,再獲擢升為區域法院法官,先在裁判法院任職近二十年,資歷完整而扎實。 她在裁判法院任職期間,需處理包括保釋、認罪及審訊等各類程序,工作繁重而節奏緊湊,這段歷練為她其後在區域法院審案奠下基礎。區域法院處理的案件範圍廣泛,由刑事審訊到民事索償皆有,法官須在不同類型的案件中保持一致的專業水平。

Kot Sin-yi is a judge of the District Court of Hong Kong, born in Hong Kong in 1960. She obtained an LL.B. (external) from the University of London in 1989 and an LL.M. from the University of Hong Kong in 2010, and was called to the Bar in England and Wales (Gray's Inn) and in Hong Kong in 1991. She went into private practice in 1992 and was appointed a Permanent Magistrate in 1997, serving in the magistracy for many years thereafter and accumulating extensive criminal trial experience. On 23 January 2017, Kot was appointed a District Judge, together with Lai Tat-cheung, Yung Kiu-kei, Chan Yuk-fan, Wong Lai-wing and Liu Man-kin; the appointment was made by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. The magistracy is Hong Kong's court of first instance for criminal matters, handling the great majority of criminal cases, and magistrates deal with a heavy daily caseload, making it an important training ground for trial experience in the Judiciary. 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; District Judges are appointed by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission, under the Basic Law. Promotion from magistrate to District Judge requires substantial trial experience and a sound judicial record, and the Judiciary weighs a candidate's professional ability and experience in selection. Having moved from the Bar to the magistracy and then to the District Court, Kot has a complete and well-founded judicial career, with nearly twenty years at the magistracy before her elevation. Her years in the magistracy, handling bail, pleas and trials at a heavy and fast pace, laid the foundation for her later work in the District Court, whose caseload ranges widely from criminal trials to civil claims and requires a consistent standard of professionalism across different types of case.
