財產混同原則 A pudding; something consisting of blended parts.
Contract - The bringing to account of any previous distributions when determining the current distribution of a fund. The general object of hotchpot clauses in settlements is to secure equality when advances have been made by way of appointment or otherwise. Interest on advances may be brought into hotchpot for calculation: Charles Sasson Gubbay & Anor v Arron Raphael Gubbay [1923] HKLR 47.
Equity - 1. Originally, the mixing, blending and division into equal parts among daughters, of lands given in frankmarriage and of lands descending in fee simple. Under hotchpot, any gifts of property by way of an advancement received from the intestate during a person’s lifetime, or by will on a partial intestacy, must be brought into account so as to achieve an equality of benefits between the intestate’s children. The hotchpot doctrine treats the amounts from such inter vivos or testamentary gifts as having been paid from the share of the particular child on intestacy. It has been given statutory expression at least for intestate estates: Intestates’ Estates Ordinance (Cap 73) s 5(1)(c). 2. The mixing and blending of property belonging to different persons into a common fund, in order to achieve equity among various claimants against the fund. For example, where a fund is to be divided amongst a class of beneficiaries, and one beneficiary has already received a share, then he or she may be required to bring their share into the common fund for the purpose of calculating the benefit due to other members. Where a surety has prejudiced the rights of co-sureties to participate in securities, a party seeking contribution must bring into the common fund the benefit he or she holds. See also Contribution; Surety.

合約法 - 在決定有關基金的現行分配時，將以往的分配計算在現行的基金中。授產安排的財產混同條款的一般目的是，在有憑藉財產受益指定或其他方式作出預支款項的情況下，可確保平等。可能須連同預付的利息計算財產混同：Charles Sasson Gubbay & Anor v Arron Raphael Gubbay [1923] HKLR 47。
衡平法 - 1. 最初指將透過公開的婚姻給予的土地和透過永久產權世襲所得的土地，在各女兒間予以混合、融合並分割成均等的部分。根據財產混同原則，為使無遺囑者的子女可享平等的利益，必須連同某人在生時從無遺囑者以預付形式獲得的財產饋贈、或某人在局部無遺囑的情況下以遺囑獲得的財產饋贈計算。在未立遺囑而死亡的情形下，財產混同原則視此等在世時的或遺囑性的饋贈，是由特定子女的份額中支付的。至少無遺囑財產分配的情形在這方面有法定的條文：《無遺囑者遺產條例》（第73章）第5(1)(c)條。 2. 將屬於不同人士的財產混合及融合成一共同基金，以便使不同的申索人可就基金達致平衡的狀況。例如倘若要將基金分配予一類別的受益人，而其中一名受益人已收取一份額的，則他或她可被要求將該份額計算在共同基金內，以計算其他成員應得的利益。凡擔保人已損害了共同擔保人參與證券的權利，則尋求分配的一方必須將他或她持有的利益計算在共同基金內。另見 Contribution; Surety。n. |
