单词 Supernumerary witness
释义 額外的證人
An additional attesting witness to a will or testamentary instrument whose signature may become a replacement signature in the event one of the two attesting witnesses is disqualified. For a will to be considered valid, the signature should be made or acknowledged by the testator in the presence of two or more witnesses present at the same time; and each witness either attests and signs the will or acknowledges his signature in the presence of the testator: Wills Ordinance (Cap 30) s 5. If more persons than are necessary sign their names to a will, then, in applying the provisions relating to gifts to witnesses, the attestation by a person to whom or to whose spouse there is given or made any such disposition must be disregarded if the will is duly executed without his attestation and without that of any other such person: s 10(3). This applies to the will of any person dying after 13 March 1970, whenever the will was executed: s 10(3). The court has also power to omit from the probate the signature of a third person at the foot of a will which already bears the signatures of two attesting witnesses, upon being satisfied that the third signature was not added with the object of attesting the will: Kitcat v King [1930] P 266. See also Witness.
在兩位見證證人的其中一位被取消資格的情況下,遺囑或遺囑性質的文書的額外見證證人的簽署可作為替代的簽署。如立遺囑人是在多於一名同時在場的見證人面前作出該簽署或承認該簽署;及每名見證人在立遺囑人面前作見證並簽署該遺囑;或承認其所作的簽署,則可視該遺囑為有效:《遺囑條例》(第30章)第 5條。如超過所需的人在某遺囑簽署,在引用關於饋贈證人的條文時,獲得處置的任何人或其配偶,如為遺囑作見證,而該遺囑沒有其見證或任何這些人的見證亦已屬妥為簽立,則該人所作的見證須不予理會:第 10(3)條。凡已簽立有關的遺囑,這規則適用於在1970年3月13日之後去世的人的遺囑:第 10(3)條。法院一經信納第三個簽署並非為了見證遺囑而加添,鑒於遺囑的下端部分已載有兩位見證證人的簽署的,亦有權在遺囑認證書略去第三者的簽署:Kitcat v King [1930] P 266。另見 Witness。
