裁判官(2006年起)

繁體中文

鄭紀航(Cheang Kei-hong),香港裁判官,一九六七年在澳門出生。他一九九一年在英國倫敦大學取得法學士學位,一九九二年在香港大學取得法學專業證書,二○○六年在香港城市大學取得語言及法律文學碩士學位。他一九九四年在香港獲事務律師資格,一九九七年再在英格蘭及威爾斯獲事務律師資格,一九九四年至一九九七年私人執業,其後於一九九七年至二○○一年出任政府律師,二○○一年起在律政司出任高級政府律師。 二○○六年八月三十日,司法機構宣布委任鄭紀航為常任裁判官,任命於同年九月一日起生效。他長期在裁判法院任職,近年並曾以署理主任裁判官身分在沙田裁判法院審理案件,包括處理涉及嚴重暴力罪行的案件在裁判法院的初步程序。 裁判法院是香港的基層刑事法院,處理全港大部分刑事案件,裁判官須主持提堂、處理保釋、進行審訊及判刑,並把嚴重的可公訴罪行轉介上級法院。在提堂階段,裁判官亦會處理案件押後、索取精神科或社會背景報告,以及批准或拒絕保釋等事宜,其決定往往影響案件的後續流程。 鄭紀航由事務律師轉入律政司任檢控人員,再轉任裁判官,兼具私人執業與政府檢控兩方面的經驗,對刑事程序的檢控一方與審判一方均有親身了解;他曾專修語言及法律,在處理以中文或英文進行的聆訊時亦有語言方面的訓練。 他出任政府律師及高級政府律師期間,主要在律政司處理法律草擬、法律諮詢或民事訴訟等工作,轉任裁判官後則專責刑事審訊,兩種經歷使其對政府一方與法院一方的角色均有認識。裁判法院的裁判官須獨立主持聆訊,其判刑權限由成文法規限,較嚴重的案件則交由上級法院處理。

Cheang Kei-hong is a Magistrate of Hong Kong, born in Macau in 1967. He obtained his LL.B. from the University of London in 1991, a Postgraduate Certificate in Laws from the University of Hong Kong in 1992, and a Master of Arts in Language and Law from the City University of Hong Kong in 2006. He was admitted as a solicitor in Hong Kong in 1994 and in England and Wales in 1997. He was in private practice from 1994 to 1997, served as Government Counsel from 1997 to 2001, and has been a Senior Government Counsel in the Department of Justice since 2001. On 30 August 2006 the Judiciary announced his appointment as a Permanent Magistrate with effect from 1 September 2006. He has served in the magistracy for many years and in recent years has sat as an acting Principal Magistrate at the Sha Tin Magistrates' Courts, including dealing with the preliminary proceedings of cases involving serious violence. The magistracy is the lower criminal court of Hong Kong, handling most criminal cases: magistrates conduct mentions, decide bail, hear trials and pass sentences, and transfer serious indictable offences to higher courts. At the mention stage magistrates also deal with adjournments and the obtaining of psychiatric or social background reports, and decide on bail - decisions that often shape the subsequent course of a case. Moving from private practice as a solicitor to a prosecuting role in the Department of Justice and then to the bench, Cheang has first-hand experience of both the prosecution and the judicial sides of criminal proceedings, and his postgraduate study of language and law is relevant to hearings conducted in Chinese or English.While serving as a Government Counsel and Senior Government Counsel he was mainly engaged in work such as legislative drafting, legal advice or civil litigation in the Department of Justice, and after becoming a magistrate he focused on criminal trials; the two experiences give him an understanding of both the government's role and the court's role. A magistrate hears cases independently and his sentencing power is limited by statute, with the more serious cases being dealt with by the higher courts.
