Convictions as evidence in civil proceedings
In any civil proceedings the fact that a person has been convicted of an
offence by or before any court in Hong Kong shall, subject to subsection (3), be
admissible in evidence for the purpose of proving, where to do so is relevant to any
issue in those proceedings, that he committed that offence, whether he was so
convicted upon a plea of guilty or otherwise and whether or not he is a party to the
civil proceedings; but no conviction other than a subsisting one shall be admissible
in evidence by virtue of this section.
