petition of right

petition of right 〈英〉 (1)权利请愿书 1947年《王权诉讼法》〔Crown Proceeding Act〕颁布以前,臣民对英王或英王侍从侵占其土地或其他财产权的行为,不能直接向法院起诉,而只能向英王提出权利请愿书,要求恢复财产权。如英王在请愿书上批准「依据事实公平审理」〔fiat justitia〕,然后可由有关法院按照一般的法律原则审理这个案件。《王权诉讼法》颁布实施后,臣民完全可以通过对政府有关部门的诉讼起诉王室,权利请愿书这种机制也就被废止了。 (2)〔P- of R-〕《权利请愿书》 1628年议会通过的限制王权的法律文件,它规定了国王未经议会立法不得任意征税,未经一定程序不得任意监禁自由臣民,任何人不得被强迫接待士兵或海员入屋居住等。该文件是议会和查理一世进行斗争的结果,最终为查理一世所接受。

election petition court

election petition court 〈英〉选举申诉法庭 由王座法庭的两名法官组成的法庭,在苏格兰由最高民事法院,在北爱尔兰由最高法院的法官组成。1868年以来,该法庭即依选民或落选候选人提出的基于诸如候选人资格等理由而对选举的效力表示异议的申诉进行审理。其判决要以报告形式交下议院议长,下议院依法律有接受义务,但下议院也可以按照旧规通过决议,仅将该报告记录在《议院公报》〔Journal of the House〕作为对申诉的处理。
