常任裁判官(2025年起)

繁體中文

鄭潤聰(Tobias Cheng Yun-chung)是香港司法機構常任裁判官。他於一九八六年在香港出生,先在英國蘭卡斯特大學取得商學士學位,後轉讀法律,於二○○九年及二○一○年在香港城市大學分別取得法律博士學位及法學專業證書,二○一四年再於同校取得法學碩士學位,主修仲裁及爭議解決。這段學術路徑顯示他並非由傳統法學士路線入行,而是先完成其他本科教育,再透過法律博士課程轉入法律專業。司法機構公布的任命資料顯示,他於二○一一年在香港獲大律師資格,二○一二年起私人執業。 二○二五年十月九日,鄭潤聰獲委任為常任裁判官,由行政長官按司法人員推薦委員會的推薦作出任命。裁判官身處香港刑事司法最前線,負責處理提堂、保釋、認罪答辯、審訊及判刑等工作;所有刑事案件都會在裁判法院開始,其中大部分亦在該層級完結。由於他在大學階段先修商學,之後再在城市大學完成法律博士及仲裁與爭議解決碩士,故其專業準備同時帶有商業與爭議解決的訓練色彩。雖然仲裁與爭議解決課程主要面向民商事爭議,但這類訓練對法官理解程序公義、爭點整理與聆訊管理,仍有一定參考價值。 就公開可見的生涯資料而言,鄭潤聰在獲委任前主要身分是執業大律師,司法機構並無公布其曾任檢控官或政府律師的紀錄,因此其轉任裁判官更接近由私人執業直接進入司法機構的典型模式。二○二六年的法庭日誌與公開報道顯示,他已在東區裁判法院處理新案件及日常刑事法庭事務。這類工作雖未必每宗都引起廣泛報道,卻是裁判法院運作的核心:法官需要在節奏緊密的排期內處理大量被告、證據披露、保釋條件及審訊安排。從其學歷與執業背景觀察,鄭潤聰屬較年輕一代的常任裁判官,結合轉系入法、仲裁進修及多年大律師執業經驗,反映香港司法機構在招聘基層司法人員時,會從不同專業訓練路徑中物色具備法庭實務能力的人選。

Tobias Cheng Yun-chung is a Permanent Magistrate in Hong Kong. Born in Hong Kong in 1986, he first studied business and obtained a bachelor's degree from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom in 2007. He then entered the legal profession through the conversion route, completing a Juris Doctor in 2009 and a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws in 2010 at the City University of Hong Kong. In 2014 he obtained a Master of Laws in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution from the same university. This educational background is notable because it reflects a move from business studies into law, followed by specialised postgraduate training in dispute resolution. The Judiciary's appointment announcement states that Cheng was called to the Hong Kong Bar in 2011 and entered private practice in 2012. On 9 October 2025 he was appointed a Permanent Magistrate by the Chief Executive on the recommendation of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission. Magistrates work at the frontline of Hong Kong's criminal justice system. They deal with first appearances, bail, pleas, trials, sentencing and everyday case management, and all criminal proceedings begin in the magistracy. Cheng's professional preparation combines a non-law undergraduate background, formal legal conversion through a J.D. programme, and advanced study in arbitration and dispute resolution. Although arbitration training is primarily associated with civil and commercial matters, it is also relevant to analytical discipline, case management and procedural fairness. From the publicly available record, Cheng appears to have moved to the bench from private practice at the Bar rather than from government legal service. Court diary material and later public references show him already sitting in the magistracy and handling fresh criminal cases after his appointment. Much of a magistrate's work does not generate high-profile reporting, but it is central to the administration of justice: managing heavy lists, ruling on bail, keeping proceedings fair and efficient, and ensuring that criminal cases move forward properly. Seen in that context, Cheng represents a younger generation of Permanent Magistrates whose path combines cross-disciplinary education, specialised postgraduate study and practical advocacy experience before appointment to judicial office.
