Law | It is a principle of equity that a person who accepts a benefit under an instrument must adopt the whole, giving full effect to its provisions, and renouncing every right inconsistent with it. It follows that if a testator gives property by design or by mistake which is not his to give, and gives at the same time to the real owner of it other property, such real owner cannot take both. In such a case the real owner is put to his election. He may elect to take either under or against the instrument. Source: European Union. (references) |
