| 单词 | Shelley's case, rule in |
| 释义 | Shelley一案的規則 A rule affecting words of limitation in the conveyance of land. Where a person by a gift or conveyance is granted a freehold estate such as life estate and in that same gift or conveyance, an estate is given to the grantee’s heirs in fee or in tail (for example ‘to A for life, remainder to the heirs of A’), then the words ‘to his heirs’ are read as words of limitation of the estate and not words of purchase: Shelley’s Case (1581) 1 Co Rep 93b. The rule applied to freehold estates at common law but not to leasehold, it is thus inapplicable in Hong Kong. The rule is also abolished in England: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 16, 2001 Reissue, Land [230.0073]. See also Life estate; Remainder. 在土地轉易上影響限制詞句的規則。凡藉饋贈或轉易而批出永久業權如終身業權者，而在該同一宗饋贈或轉易中，批予人的繼承人獲得無條件繼承業權或受限制的業權（例如「A獲終身享用權，A的繼承人獲指定繼承權」），這樣，「他的繼承人獲…」」會被視為對業權的限制字句，而非有關購買的字句：Shelley’s Case (1581) 1 Co Rep 93b。此規則適用於普通法下的永久業權，而非批租業權，因此並不適用於香港。此規則在英國亦已被廢除：Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, 第16冊，2001年，再發行，土地，第 [230.0073]段。另見 Life estate; Remainder。 |
