Abstract

Finding the intent to defraud or mislead for the conviction of felony fraud could be very tricky in the context of food regulation. As compared to the split among the US federal circuit courts on the interpretation of intent, Taiwan courts looked into the extent of harm to the victim to determine whether the defendant should be convicted of felony fraud. In order to limit the scope of felony liability, Taiwanese law requires an additional showing of the extent of harm to the victim. Recently, courts in Taiwan further expanded the scope of the statutory language, “harmful to human health,” to include potential harm as demonstrated by animal studies. This approach provides courts in other jurisdiction with an alternative aggravating factor to assess criminal liability in nondisclosure cases arising out of non-compliance with food law.

食品安全违法背景下诈骗重罪定罪的被害人伤害程度加重因素选择。
在食品监管的背景下,发现欺诈或误导重罪欺诈的意图可能是非常棘手的。与美国联邦巡回法院在意图解释上的分歧相比,台湾法院考虑了对受害者的伤害程度,以确定被告是否应被判诈骗罪。为了限制重罪责任的范围,台湾法律要求额外显示对受害者的伤害程度。最近,台湾法院进一步扩大了“对人体健康有害”这一法定用语的范围,将动物研究证明的潜在危害也包括在内。这种方法为其他司法管辖区的法院提供了另一种加重因素,以评估因不遵守食品法而引起的不披露案件的刑事责任。
