| 单词 | Cy-pres |
| 释义 | 近似原則 AF – as nearly. If the trust fails the beneficial interest results to the settlor or testator. If a charitable trust fails, the cy-près doctrine applies, by which the trust property is applied for other charitable purpose which is as near as possible to the original purpose which cannot be carried out. For example, the doctrine may be applied if the precise purpose of the trust is uncertain, has never existed or ceased to exist before the testator’s death or if the purpose or institution ceased to exist after the gift took effect. If the original purpose has been fulfilled and a surplus remains in the charitable trust, cy-près will be applied to the surplus: Re Raine (deceased), Walton v A-G [1956] 1 All ER 355, Ch 417; Re Granville Sharp [1922] HKLR 32. This doctrine can also be stipulated as a guiding principle in charitable matters. For example, it is stipulated that the power of alteration of the conditions of award shall be exercised in accordance with the cy-près rule: Education and Scholarships Fund Ordinance (Cap 1085) s 20. See also Administrative scheme; Charitable trust; Scheme; Trust. 古代法語 – 近似 若信託失效，財產授予人或立遺囑人所得的實益權益。若慈善信託失效，則可引用近似原則，藉該原則信託財產適用於與未能達成的原來目的盡可能近似的其他慈善目的。舉例說，若信託確實的目的不能確定、或在立遺囑人去世前不從存在或不再存在，或該目的或機構在饋贈生效後不再存在，則該原則可適用。若已達成原來目的，及在該慈善信託仍有餘額，則近似原則將適用於該餘額：Re Raine (deceased), Walton v A-G [1956] 1 All ER 355, Ch 417; Re Granville Sharp [1922] HKLR 32。該原則亦可指定為具慈善性質的事項的指引。舉例說，有規定指更改頒授條件的權力，須按照近似原則行使：《教育獎學基金條例》（第1085章）第20條。另見 Administrative scheme; Charitable trust; Scheme; Trust。 |
