回應文章: 刑事法和民事法 - 違法目前歧視條例不是criminal offense 回應者: 虞瑋倩


卑微人說得對﹐如果是刑事法﹐是政府為原訟人。

但刑事罪來看﹐如果原訟人得直﹐被告確實“輸”了官司。但要看法例本身是屬於所謂 civil violation 或者 criminal offense 或者 單純offense (美國有所謂分minor dismeanor 之類的)。

一般來說﹐術語是會說“....behaviour ... is a criminal offence liable to a punishment of....”﹐或者例如會說保留“案底” (criminal record)和會啟動所謂 Criminal proceedings (刑事司法程序)。

故此要看詳細條文是如何說。

幸好我有香港律政處網頁和平等機會委員會網頁。

目前有關性別歧視、殘疾歧視、家庭崗位歧視等法例 (ordinance) 的號碼分別為CAP480﹐ CAP487 和CAP527。而條都沒有納入香港的CRIMINAL LAW裡面﹐而是歸入為 CIVIL RIGHT (公民權法)裡面。

根據上面看﹐“性傾向歧視法例”也應該不會納入香港的CRIMINAL LAW裡。

有興趣可以參考﹕
http://www.legislation.gov.hk/eng/doc/subindex.doc

http://www.legislation.gov.hk/eng/doc/subindex.doc#CIVILRIGHTS

大家參考平等機會委員會的資料﹐也發現不是“政府告人”﹐而是和民事訴訟一樣﹐是人/群體控告 個人/群體/機構的。

我只看過性別歧視條例 (CAP 480)﹐除了過程裡面如果有人妨礙司法公正、或者資料可能涉及了另外的刑事罪行。

不過現有針對歧視的法例﹐違法者不是犯了刑事罪 (criminal offense)﹐而是普通違法 (offense)的。

所以﹐我懷疑性文化學會是把外國的案例錯誤引用了。

在香港平機會裡面﹐有幾個案例﹐都顯示目前違法歧視法例不是 criminal offense。

讀法律或者律師可以指正我是否了解錯誤。
