前女佣拟对检控官 发起纪律研讯
因被前雇主廖文良指偷窃,卷入四年官司的印尼籍前女佣巴蒂,将透过代表律师,申请向涉及检控其案件的检控官,发起纪律研讯。
巴蒂代表律师阿尼尔(Anil Balchandani),今早(23日)出席在高庭的审前会议,这是援引律师专业法令(Legal Profession Act)第82A条文下,针对司法官员的纪律研讯(disciplinary proceeding)。
被要求答辩的是两名署理检控官 Tan Wee Hao和Tan Yanying,他们由总检察署的Kristy Tan Ruyan等人代表。
若巴蒂对司法官员不当行为的申诉,获得大法官允准进行调查,当局将设立纪律审裁庭,以调查相关申诉并提成给大法官,后者有权作出惩处,或驳回有关申诉。
若违反律师专业法令下,一些相关惩处包括被剔除职务、罚款最高2万元,或任何纪律审裁庭认为合适的处罚。
巴蒂再去年被国家法院判监禁26个月,惟在本月4日,终获高庭推翻判决,沉冤得雪。巴蒂一案近两周来引起国人议论,并关注女佣在整个审讯中处于弱势的地位。高庭法官陈成安判决中,更形容廖家父子报警可能存在“不当意图”,被告有充分理由投诉人力部,而廖家“先下手为强”将他开除。
高庭法官陈成安,在判决中也点出所谓“赃物”移交警局过程存在疑点。包括廖家声称开箱检查女佣留下的三大箱子,并报警后,警方未立即取走证物。由于高庭法官的判词,也针对警方的调查工作,这也致使警方需出面回应此事,表示将展开调查。
再者,控方在聆讯时提呈的证物,竟包括故障的DVD播放机,而在初审时并没有提出来播放机是故障的。
