Abstract
Where beneficiaries of a trust have a contingent or reversionary entitlement to capital, section 32 of the Trustee Act 1925 empowers trustees to accelerate their enjoyment of that interest by paying over part of their share to them, although only with the consent of beneficiaries with prior interests. Can that power be exercised where the trusts are in Hancock v Watson form, i.e. there is an apparently absolute gift to a beneficiary but trusts are then engrafted or imposed on the beneficiary’s interest giving them only a life interest? The article considers the judgment in Womble Bond Dickinson (Trust Corporation) Ltd v Glenn which is the first ever decision on this question.
扩大1925年《受托人法》第32条的范围？Womble Bond Dickinson（信托公司）Limited诉Glenn&Others【2021】EWHC 624；【2021】WTLR 737
如果信托的受益人对资本有或有或复归的权利，1925年《受托人法》第32条授权受托人通过向其支付部分股份来加速其对该权益的享有，尽管只有在获得先前权益的受益人同意的情况下。如果信托是Hancock诉Watson案的形式，即对受益人有明显的绝对赠与，但信托随后被植入或强加给受益人的利益，只给他们终身利益，那么这种权力可以行使吗？本文考虑了Womble Bond Dickinson（Trust Corporation）Ltd诉Glenn一案的判决，这是有史以来第一个关于这个问题的判决。
