单词 | lapse of gift |
释义 | lapse of gift lapse of gift the failure of a testamentary gift as a result of the death of the beneficiary in the testator's lifetime; also, in the case of a gift to a spouse, failure of the gift as a result of the annulment or disso- lution of marriage. '. . . the word “lapse” is, in an appropriate con- text, perfectly apt to cover the happening of any event in a testator's lifetime that prevents the intended legate from being entitled to the legacy, and thus to mean nothing more than “fail”.' – per Slade L. J. in Re Sinclair (decd) [1985] 1 All ER 1066 at 1070. |
