| 单词 | Purpose trust |
| 释义 | 有目的信託 A trust created for a particular purpose rather than a specific person or group of persons. Purpose trust must be established for charitable purposes, otherwise it is void as there is no beneficiary in existence to enforce the trust: Re Recher's Will Trusts [1972] Ch 526. However, if a non-charitable purpose trust satisfies the rule against perpetual trusts, which requires that such a trust must not last beyond the perpetuity period, it will be valid: Perpetuities and Accumulation Ordinance (Cap 257) s 3(1). After 1 July 1997, all charitable trusts provided they were for the benefit of charitable purposes continued to be purpose trusts despite being originally registered as British: HSBC Trustee (Hong Kong) Ltd v S-J [2000] 1 HKLRD 31. An anomalous exception is made for trusts created by will which provide for the establishment and upkeep of tombs and trusts for animal: Re Hooper [1932] 1 Ch 38. 為特定目的而非為一名指定的人或一個指定團體的人而設立的信託。目的信託必須為慈善目的而設立，否則會因為沒有受益人對信託作出強制執行而屬無效：Re Reecher’s Will Trusts [1972] Ch 526。然而，如非慈善目的信託不違反針對恆繼信託不得超逾恆繼期的規則，該非慈善目的信託將會有效：《財產恆繼及收益累積條例》（第257）第3(1)條。自1997年7月1 日後，所有慈善信託只要過去是為惠及慈善目的者，儘管原來在英國註冊，將繼續是慈善信託：HSBC Trustee (Hong Kong) Ltd v S-J [2000] 1 HKLRD 31。但對為維持墳地而設的信託及動物信託，則訂有不規則的例外：Re Hooper [1932] 1 Ch 38. |
