| 单词 | Misdescription |
| 释义 | 錯誤說明 An error in the description of the subject matter of a legal transaction contained in a legal instrument. Succession - A wrong description or identification of a beneficiary, executor or item of property in a will. Where the will contains a misdescription or an insufficient description of the person nominated as executor, the grant issues to the person who, according to the evidence, was actually intended by his correct description, with the addition of the description written in the will: Re Cooper [1899] P 193. If due to a misdescription of a person or thing in a testamentary disposition, putting the terms of the will as described by the testator into effect would not correspond with evidence of the surrounding circumstances at the time of making the will, the court may admit extrinsic evidence under the falsa demonstratio rule or the cy-près doctrine for charitable gifts in order to ascertain the testator’s intention and rectify the misdescription: Pratt v Matthew [1826] 22 Beav 238; Re Price [1932] 2 Ch 54. If the meaning of the description cannot be resolved by application of such rules of construction or if there is a patent ambiguity on the face of the will that cannot be resolved by extrinsic evidence, the misdescribed gift will be void for uncertainty: Hong Kong Bank Trustee Ltd v Fu Chui Ying [1994] 1 HKC 702, Llewellyn v Earl of Jersey (1843) 11 M & W, Chan Man Choi, Success Million Investment Limited v Poon Fook Wah, Lam Kwan Chun (CACV 385/2000, unreported).
