散播傳染病流行疫情謠言罪之要件判斷【醫事法學教室】 試閱
Statutory Elements of Offense of Spreading Rumors about Epidemic Communicable Diseases
傳染病防治法第63條為散播傳染病流行疫情謠言罪之規定於2019年6月19日修正公布，提升了罰金上限。實務上與該罪有關的案件很少，該罪可解析為「散播有關傳染病流行疫情之謠言或不實訊息」之構成要件行為要件與「足生損害於公眾或他人」之構成要件結果要件。其行為要件具不確定法律概念，結果要件亦有待司法機關歸納出相對明確的標準，以維繫法安定性。
Paragraph 63 of Law on the Control of Communicable Diseases is a stipulation of the offense of spreading rumors about epidemic communicable diseases. It was amended on 19 June 2019, and the maximum limit of fines was raised. There are still very few cases related to this crime in practice. The statutory elements of this crime can be interpreted into two parts, one statutory element of offense is conduct requirement – “spreading rumors or disinformation about the epidemic communicable diseases,” and the other statutory element of offense is result fulfillment – “sufficient to generate damage to the public or others.” However, this conduct requirement has uncertain legal concepts, and the result fulfillment also need judiciary to introduce the relatively clear standard, in order to ensure the certain degree of legal stability.
