【诽谤诉讼】冀公开有关李家故居往来通信 林鼎要求遭拒

在今日的审讯,本社总编许渊臣代表律师林鼎,曾质询总理李显龙,以揭露更多有关欧思礼路38号故居的李家往来通信,不过遭到法官拒绝。

总理起诉许渊臣诽谤案在今早(30日)开审,由法官Audrey Lim承审。在今日的盘问环节,林鼎提出总理未揭露任何有关故居的来往通信或是宪报事宜,而这些都是此案的核心问题。

不过李显龙代表律师文达星随即提出异议,许渊臣此前已提交申请,不过都已被法官驳回。

许渊臣曾提出申请,希望能获取与总理提告诽谤案有关联的特定文件,这些包括总理与李家人的往来通信、内阁会议等,以作为答辩证据。

不过高庭在今年3月已驳回他的申请。

对此,林鼎质问总理,是否仍未揭露许多和此案相关的文件?对此总理回应,他已“公开了所有”被要求、法庭也认为是相关的文件。

林鼎再针对有关揭示证据的申请(application for discovery)进一步追问,但法官Audrey Lim即提出异议,认为这不是李显龙需要回答的。

“我不会允许这种提问,好吗?文达星的论点是正确的。如果认为有相关文件需披露,您的客户应在审前提出适当申请,由法庭决定文件决定是否与案件有实质关联。所以应针对手上的议题进行审讯。”

她也指“该有的文件都在这里了,不要重新讨论证据揭示的问题,这不想关。”

在诉讼中,当事人可以在开审前,申请揭露和案件相关的证据,但法官可决定这些文件是否和案情相关。

此前,许渊臣曾要求揭露的相关文件包括:

  • 针对李光耀移除李显龙作为遗嘱执行人的相关书信往来
  • 李显龙和弟妹李玮玲和李显扬,在2011年7月20日至2012年10月31日,有关故居的书信往来
  • 李显龙和李光耀,于2011年7月20日至2012年10月31日期间,针对故居的通信往来。

总理起诉许渊臣事件背景

针对本社英语站在去年8月15日刊载的一篇评论,复述总理弟妹的不实指控,总理曾透过秘书张俪霖要求本社道歉。

但本社总编也回应,有关文章《总理夫人何晶奇怪地分享了一篇与家人断绝关系》(“PM Lee’s wife, Ho Ching weirdly shares article on cutting ties with family members”),实则不含诽谤性,而是根据可能对事件知情的总理家人此前发表的公开声明,也有鉴于涉及公共利益问题,为了能避免造成疑虑,只能重新复述总理弟妹曾说过的话。

不过,总理仍选择在去年9月5日正式提告。

总理妹妹李玮玲,在去年5月曾发文,指其已故父亲曾受到哥哥李显龙的误导,误以为欧思礼38号故居已经获政府宪报。
