App. IIAJ

Charities Procedure Act 1832

[1987 Ed.

No appointment in exercise of a power shall be impeached in equity as illusory by reason of giving only a nominal share to any object of the power.

Not to affect any deed which declares the amount of the shares to be appointed; nor to give any other force to any appointment than the same would have had if a substantial share had been appointed or left to devolve as unappointed.

[Preamble]

[1.] No appointment which from and after the passing of this Act shall be made in exercise of any power or authority to appoint any property, real or personal, amongst several objects, shall be invalid or impeached in equity on the ground that an unsubstantial, illusory, or nominal share only shall be thereby appointed to or left unappointed to devolve upon any one or more of the objects of such power; but every such appointment shall be valid and effectual in equity as well as at law, notwithstanding that any one or more of the objects shall not thereunder, or in default of such appointment, take more than an unsubstantial, illusory, or nominal share of the property subjected to such power.

2. Provided always, that nothing in this Act contained shall prejudice or affect any provision, in any deed, will, or other instrument creating any such power as aforesaid, which shall declare the amount of the share or shares from which no object of the power shall be excluded.

3. Provided also, that nothing in this Act contained shall be construed, deemed, or taken, at law or in equity, to give any other validity, force, or effect, to any appointment, than such appointment would have had if a substantial share of the property affected by the power had been thereby appointed to or left unappointed to devolve upon any object of such power.
