| 释义 | 條件尚待完成的契據 AF – escrowe – a piece of cloth or parchment, a scroll. An intended deed delivered which is not to become the deed of the party expressed to be bound by it until some condition has been performed. Delivery as an escrow may be made in words or by conduct, the party should expressly or impliedly declare his intention to be bound by the provisions inscribed. Once the condition is fulfilled the deed becomes binding absolutely: Alan Estates Ltd v W G Stones Ltd [1982] Ch 511. Formerly, the delivery of an escrow had to be to a stranger and not a grantee: Whyddon’s case (1596) Cro Eliz 520, 78 ER 769. A deed may now be delivered as an escrow to the party intended to be bound or to an attorney acting for all parties thereto pending the performance of the condition subject to which it was so delivered: Xenos v Wickham (1866) LR 2 HL 296; Philips v Edwards (1864) 33 Beav 440. However, if the condition is not fulfilled, the contract remains in existence. Also known as ‘conditional delivery’. See also Conditional execution; Deed; Delivery; Execution; Grantee. 英國法語 ─ escrowe ─ 一幅布或羊皮紙，紙卷。 某已交付的擬作契據不會成為一方明示受約束的契據，直至已履行若干條件為止。可藉文字或行動作出條件尚待完成的契據的交付，該方應明示或默示表明其受已記名條文所約束的意圖。一旦已符合該等條件，即對締約方構成絕對有約束力的契據：Alan Estates Ltd v W G Stones Ltd [1982] Ch 511。以前必須向第三者而非承授人交付條件尚待完成的契據：Whyddon’s case (1596) Cro Eliz 520, 78 ER 769。現在可向意圖受約束的一方、或代理各方的律師交付條件尚待完成的契據，但有待履行交付所受制的條件：Xenos v Wickham (1866) LR 2 HL 296；Philips v Edwards (1864) 33 Beav 440。但如不能符合有關條件，該合約仍然存在。另稱「有條件交付」。另見 Conditional execution; Deed; Delivery; Execution; Grantee。n. |
