单词 | Wrongful distribution |
释义 | 不當分配 In the law of trusts, overpayment by a trustee to a beneficiary or third party, of moneys in a trust fund. Where moneys are wrongfully distributed to a beneficiary, and the trust is a continuing one, the trustee can recover the overpayment by adjusting future payments to the beneficiary; this liability can be visited upon an assignee for value of that beneficiary’s interest: Dibbs v Goren (1849) 11 Beav 483, 50 ER 904. Where a beneficiary receives from the trustee more than he is entitled to, whether in respect of capital or income, he may be liable to refund to the trust estate the excess which ought not to have been paid to him: Re Robinson, McLaren v Public Trustee [1911] 1 Ch 502. So far as it is capable of being identified or disentangled, money or property wrongly paid or transferred to a beneficiary or the money or property into which it has been converted may be followed and recovered, unless it has come into the hands of a purchaser for valuable consideration without notice of the trust: Ministry of Health v Simpson [1951] AC 251, [1950] 2 All ER 1137 (HL). In the administration of the estate of a deceased person, an unpaid or underpaid creditor, legatee or next of kin may bring a direct action in equity against the person to whom the estate has been wrongfully distributed: Ministry of Health v Simpson, supra. See also Beneficiary; Trust; Trustee. 就信託法而言,受託人向受益人或第三者超付信託基金的款額。凡不當分配給受益人的款額,而信託屬持續性信託,受託人可藉對受益人的未來付款作出調節,追回超付的部份;這項法律責任,可施加於就受益人的權益付出代價的承讓人:Dibbs v Goren (1849) 11 Beav 483, 50 ER 904。反受益人從受託人處收取比他應得的多,不論是來自資本或收益,他可能要退還給信託產業本不應支付他的超出部份:Re Robinson, McLaren v Public Trustee [1911] 1 Ch 502。由不當地支付受益人的款項,或不當地向受益人轉移的財產,所轉換成的款項或財產,在可能被識別或解開的情形下,直到它落入付出有值代價及沒有獲得通知的買主手中,可被追溯及追回:Ministry of Health v Simpson [1951] AC 251, [1950] 2 All ER 1137 (HL)。就死者遺產的管理而言,一個沒有獲得支付或獲得少付的債權人,受遺贈人或近親,可在衡平法上直接提起訴訟針對獲得遺產不當分配的人:Ministry of Health v Simpson, supra。另見 Beneficiary; Trust; Trustee。 |
