| 释义 | 道德上的責任 The duty which a testator owes to his family members and/or dependants to provide for them on his death: Bosch v Perpetual Trustee Co [1938] AC 463, 2 All ER 14. The court has inherent power to make orders when it is satisfied that the deposition of the deceased’s estate effected by his will or the law relating to intestacy, or the combination of his will and the law, is not such as to make reasonable financial provision for the applicant: Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Ordinance (Cap 481) ss 3,4. In adopting a moral duty approach in relation to whether an applicant was left without adequate provision, the court may take into account the means and needs of the applicant, the size of the estate and the extent of competing claims: s 5(1). The test is simply whether the will or the deposition has made reasonable provision: Re Coventry, Coventry v Coventry [1979] 3 All ER 815 (CA). See also Family provision. 立遺囑者在過世時對其家庭成員及/或受養人負有提供生計的責任：Bosch v Perpetual Trustee Co [1938] AC 463, 2 All ER 14。當法庭認為在通過死者的遺囑、無遺囑繼承法、死者的遺囑及法律的結合，所作的遺產處置沒有為申請人作合理經濟給養，法庭有固有權力發出命令：《財產繼承（供養遺屬及受養人）條例》（第481章）第3、4條。就決定死者是否已為申請人作出足夠的安排，如法庭採納了道德上的責任此方法，它可考慮申請人的經濟能力及需要，遺產的數目及對立申索的多少：第5(1)條。法庭引用的測試為簡單的到底遺囑或遺產處置有否作出合理的給養：Re Coventry, Coventry v Coventry [1979] 3 All ER 815 （英國上訴法院）。另見 Family provision。 |
