| 单词 | Merger of estates |
| 释义 | 產業權合併 The doctrine that when a greater estate coincides with a lesser estate in the one person without any intermediate estate, the lesser interest is ‘merged’ or extinguished. Examples are where a tenant acquires the reversion of a lease, or a life tenant acquires the remainder. At law, the doctrine applies irrespective of the parties’ intentions: Burton v Barclay (1831) 7 Bing 745, 131 ER 288. However, equity will not recognise this type of merger if to do so runs counter to the parties’ actual or presumed intentions that it is to be kept alive: Forbes v Moffat (1811) 18 Ves 384, 34 ER 362. See also Merger; Merger in conveyance; Merger of charges. 較大產業權與較少產業權同時歸屬予同一人，當中沒有中間產業權，較少產業權會被’合併’ 或取消。例子包括當某承租人取得租契的復歸權益，或終身租用人取得剩餘權益。在法律上，此原則並非根據各方的意圖而應用：Burton v Barclay (1831) 7 Bing 745, 131 ER 288。但是，衡平法不會確認此類型的合併，如此作法可反駁各方真實或推定的意圖，使該合併可繼續存在：Forbes v Moffat (1811) 18 Ves 384, 34 ER 362。另見 Merger; Merger in conveyance; Merger of charges。 |
