| 单词 | In terrorem |
| 释义 | 威嚇性的 Lat – in fear of dread; intended to frighten or intimidate. In succession law, a mere idle threat to induce a beneficiary of personal property in a will to comply with the conditions thereof stipulated. Such conditions in terrorem may be void unless there is a gift over but not to affect the gift. For example, a bequest conditional on the legatee not contesting the will (Re Gaynor [1960] VR 640) or a bequest conditional in partial restraint of marriage (Bellasis v Ermine (1663) 1 Cas in Ch 22). See also Conditional gift; Contingency; Gift over. 拉丁語－畏懼；打算恐嚇。在繼承法中，指為誘使遺囑中的非土地財產受益人遵行遺囑訂定的條件，而作出純粹無根據的恐嚇。除非有轉贈他人而沒有影響有關的饋贈，此等威嚇性的條件可成為無效。例如一項以受遺贈人不就遺囑爭辯為條件的遺贈（Re Gaynor [1960] VR 640），或以局部限制婚姻為條件的遺贈（Bellasis v Ermine(1663) 1 Cas in Ch 22）。另見 Conditional gift; Contingency; Gift over。 |
