想請教一下，梁國雄今日上訴失敗，獲減刑但即時入獄1個月，佢庭上要求將「押後」入獄，待立法會下月休會後才入冊，但個官話無權咁做。想請教下標少，「押後入獄」呢種要求有無可能做到？

「梁國雄向法官提出，希望在立法會七月中休會後才服刑，又說自己有信用，不會逃走。法官彭偉昌表示不擔心梁國雄離開，但他法庭無權押後執行有關的監禁刑罰。」

其實彭官已講了他無權押後梁國雄的入獄時間，單以押後入獄為理由，我未聽過可以在上訴失敗後的押後。要繞過這障礙，辦法當然有，就是上訴到終審法院，期間申請保釋(bail pending appeal)。法例第221章《刑事程序訴訟條例》第83Z 

221	Title:	CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ORDINANCE	Gazette Number:
Section:	83Z	Heading:	Power to bail convicted person	Version Date:	30/06/1997

---

A person need not be admitted to bail in connection with an offence if he has been convicted of that offence, but where any court has jurisdiction to remand that person in custody or to admit him to bail pending sentence or appeal, the court may make such orders as appear to it to be necessary for the detention or the admission to bail of that person and, in making any such order, shall have regard to-

(a) pending sentence, the likelihood of a custodial sentence;
(b) pending appeal against conviction or sentence, the likelihood of the sentence being completed before the disposal of the appeal or of the appeal being allowed; and
(c) any other matter that appears to the court to be relevant.

(Added 56 of 1994 s. 8)

及484章《終審法院條例》第34條

484	Title:	HONG KONG COURT OF FINAL APPEAL ORDINANCE	Gazette Number:	79 of 1995; 120 of 1997
Section:	34	Heading:	Bail	Version Date:	01/07/1997

---

(1) The Court, the Court of Appeal or the Court of First Instance, as the case may be, may on the application of a person appealing or applying for leave to appeal or on the application of a person in custody pending the determination of the appeal, grant the person in custody bail pending the determination of the appeal.
(2) A grant of bail under subsection (1) may be made subject to such conditions as the Court, the Court of Appeal or the Court of First Instance, as the case may be, considers necessary.
(3) If a person is refused bail on an application made under subsection (1), he shall not thereafter be entitled to make a fresh application for bail-

(a) before the commencement of the hearing of the appeal, except to the Court, the Court of Appeal or the Court of First Instance and only if he satisfies the Court, the Court of Appeal or the Court of First Instance that since the refusal, there has been a material change in relevant circumstances; or 
(b) during the hearing of the appeal, except to the Court.

(Amended 120 of 1997 s. 14

都賦予上訴人申請保釋的權力。當然上終審法院未必有快期，在彭官處申請上訴到終院的許可，幾乎可以講一定駁回，所以彭官不予保釋。一切就看終院了，向終院申請保釋，終院會考慮應否發出上訴許可，應該的話就予保釋，相反而言，這四星期就坐硬了。
