单词 | overreaching |
释义 | overreaching Where land is held on a trust of land, the Law of Property Act 1925 provides that a purchaser of the land shall take free of the beneficiaries’ interests, provided that the purchase money is paid to at least two trustees or a trust corporation (City of London Building Society v Flegg [1988] AC 54 (HL)). A mortgagee exercising his power of sale is able to overreach the mortgagor’s estate and equity of redemption and convey the land free from the equitable right: the mortgagor’s rights are transferred to the purchase money, the mortgagee being trustee of any such funds remaining after paying off the mortgage debt. A sale by the tenant for life of settled land also overreaches the interests of the beneficiaries. Overreaching in general affects only equitable rights. |
