In relatively non-serious cases, if the defendant has a good background, it is possible to apply for an Offer No Evidence Bindover order (also known as O.N.E. Bindover or ONEBO).<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>If the Prosecutor agrees to the O.N.E. Bindover application and the Court allows it, the defendant will only have to agree to the facts submitted by the Prosecution during mention, and thereby admitting to the wrongdoing that he\/ she had committed, be warned by the Court, and promise to the Court that he\/she will keep the peace and behaves well during in the prescribed period of time. Usually, the Court would then order the defendant be \"bound over\" as such for 1-2 years . The practical outcome is that the defendant would have no criminal record.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>It is a most precious opportunity for most defendants in criminal cases to \"get a second chance\" by getting the bindover treatment, as they would have no criminal record and can be relieved from the mental pressure from litigation (such as enduring a criminal trial or being imposed a sentence). They are given another chance to start afresh, behave well and work hard towards their goals in life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Depending on the severity of each particular case, <a href=\"https:\/\/cph-legal.com\/criminal-offences-possible-to-grant-one-bindover\/\" target=\"_self\">it is more common for a O.N.E. Bindover to be granted in cases involving relatively minor offences, <\/a>such as:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cph-legal.com\/en\/theft-in-hong-kong\/\">Theft eg.

Bindover order behave well afterwards. Very few of them committed any offence again. We have kept in touch with some of them and have seen positive changes to their lives. Some of them have even taken up voluntary work to help the community, while some have changed their personality for the better, and some have improved their relationships with their families.<\/p>\n<p>CPH Legal is experienced in handling criminal cases. Our Principal Solicitor, Mr. Eric P H Chan, serves as a criminal defence lawyer and as a fiat prosecutor briefed by Department of Justice, and is familiar with criminal procedure and the police's investigation process.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">In appropriate cases, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/cph-legal.com\/clients-testimonies\/\" target=\"_self\">successfully negotiated and obtained the O.N.E.

Bindover, or wish to contest the case in Court, please contact our firm for consultation as soon as possible so as to allow sufficient time for case preparation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frequently asked questions (FAQs) for O.N.E. Bindover:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q1: I've confessed in my statement (Notebook \/ Record of Interview \/ Video Recorded Interview). Can I still apply for O.N.E. Bindover?<\/strong><br \/>A1: Yes. The fact that you've confessed under caution demonstrates your genuine remorse and is conducive to an arrangement for O.N.E. Bindover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2: If I remained silent or denied the offence under caution, can I still apply for O.N.E. Bindover?<\/strong><br \/>A2: It is a constitutional right for an arrested person to remain silent under caution. Remaining silent does not affect your chance of applying for O.N.E. Bindover. If you denied the offence under caution, you may still apply for it, but your solicitors may have to explain to the prosecutor in the letter why you offered the explanation you did under caution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3: Will I definitely be entitled to O.N.E. Bindover in a shoplifting \/ common assault case if I had no previous criminal record?<\/strong><br \/>A3: The normal policy for the DOJ is to prosecute all cases where there is sufficient evidence. It is an exception, rather than a rule, to give the defendant a chance by way of O.N.E. Bindover. As such, thorough preparation is needed to make proper written representations to the DOJ to convince the prosecutor in charge to exercise his discretion to give you a chance and spare you a criminal record by way of O.N.E. Bindover.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4: What are the procedures ahead if the DOJ agrees to the O.N.E. Bindover arrangement?<\/strong><br \/>A4: Upon DOJ's confirmation (whether verbal or written) that it is agreeable to O.N.E. Bindover, your lawyer will attend the upcoming mention hearing for you and report to the Court of such an agreement as well as convince the Court to grant an order as such. Upon the Court's approval, the Brief Facts will be read out in Court and you will be asked whether you agree to the Brief Facts. You will need to answer in the affirmative. The Court will then order you to be bound-over for a period of time, normally 12-24 months. The Court will also order you to commit a sum of money in return for your promise to keep the peace. You will then sign a recognizance confirming the terms of the O.N.E. Bindover and be able to leave the Court.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5: Can I leave Hong Kong after I am bound-over by the Court?<\/strong><br \/>A5: Yes you can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q6: When my lawyer prepares his letter to the DOJ requesting O.N.E. Bindover, should he focus on the mitigating factors, or should he focus on raising a defence and pointing out the weaknesses in the prosecution's case?<\/strong><br \/>A6: A general condition for O.N.E. Bindover is for the defendant to admit the prosecution's case, ie the Brief Facts. If a defendant denies the prosecution's facts, in cases where the DOJ handles the mention hearing (such as most police cases), the normal course of action for the DOJ to do is simply rejecting the O.N.E. Bindover request, and inviting the defence to simply plead not guilty and contest the case in trial.<\/p>\n<p>There are two exceptions:<\/p>\n<p>Exception 1: In cases where the DOJ does not handle the mention hearings such as cases prosecuted by the Immigration Department (eg. employing illegal workers), it appears that some departments such as the Immigration Department are more inclined to agree to O.N.E. Bindover if the defence lawyer can put forward a convincing defence in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>Exception 1: In cases where the DOJ handles the mention hearings, if the defence lawyer can put forward highly convincing legal arguments why the charge must fail or very strong exculpatory evidence, the DOJ may agree to O.N.E. Bindover  or to directly withdraw the charge (straight O.N.E.). However, this is quite a rare occurrence.<\/p>\n<p>In cases where the defendant simply disputes the prosecution's facts, the DOJ normally directly rejects the O.N.E. Bindover request.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in most cases, the appropriate course of action is to focus on the mitigation factors in the letter requesting O.N.E. Bindover, such as the good background of the defendant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Further reading:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cph-legal.com\/en\/2022\/01\/%e8%87%aa%e7%b0%bd%e5%ae%88%e8%a1%8c%e7%82%ba-%e5%90%91%e5%be%8b%e6%94%bf%e5%8f%b8%e6%8f%90%e5%87%ba%e5%85%b7%e8%aa%aa%e6%9c%8d%e5%8a%9b%e7%9a%84%e6%9b%b8%e9%9d%a2%e9%99%b3%e8%bf%b0\/\">O.N.E.
