| 单词 | Imperfect gift |
| 释义 | 不完整的贈與 A gift or bequest where the intention to give is unclear or ambiguous or the formalities required to give effect to the intention have not been properly executed so that the intended gift fails. For example, where the chattel given was not physically delivered to the donee or where the legal transfer was not properly executed. Equity will not construe an imperfect gift as a declaration of trust: Richards v Delbridge (1874) LR 18 Eq 11. The court will not compel the intending donor to complete and perfect an imperfect gift: Wycherley v Wycherley (1763) 2 Eden 175. Such gift can be revoked at any time: Standing v Bowring (1885) 31 Ch D 282 (CA). The ordinary rule is that the law will enforce an executory promise given for consideration, but not an imperfect gift: Milroy v Lord (1862) 4 De G F & J 264. See also Forfeiture; Gift; Lapse of gift; Residue. 凡給予饋贈或遺贈的意向不清晰、含糊、或饋贈或遺贈生效所需的正式手續並未妥為執行，則該意圖作出的饋贈或遺贈無效。例如並未向受贈人實際交付給與的實產，或凡未能妥為簽立法律規定的轉移書執行不當。衡平法不會視不完整的贈與為信託聲明：Richards v Delbridge (1874) LR 18 Eq 11。法院不會強迫意圖作出贈與的贈與人完成不完整的饋贈及使饋贈得以完成：Wycherley v Wycherley (1763) 2 Eden 175。可隨時撤銷此等饋贈：Standing v Bowring (1885) 31 Ch D 282（英國上訴法院）。一般的規則是法律會強制執行就代價所作的未來有效承諾，但不會強制執行不完整的贈與：Milroy v Lord (1862) 4 De G F & J 264。另見 Forfeiture; Gift; Lapse of gift; Residue。 |
