Restrictions on operation of conditions of forfeiture

29C Restrictions on operation of conditions of forfeiture

(1) Where there is a person entitled to income (including an annuity or other periodical income) or any other property, subject to a condition of forfeiture on alienation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and whether with or without words of futurity, then--
(a) unless the instrument containing the condition expressly provides to the contrary, no alienation, whether by way of charge or otherwise, of the income or other property, made or occurring before the person becomes entitled to receive payment of the income, or to call for a conveyance or delivery of the other property, shall operate to create forfeiture under the condition unless the alienation is in operation at the time the person becomes so entitled,
(b) notwithstanding any stipulation to the contrary in the instrument containing the condition no voluntary alienation made by the person, with the sanction of the court, shall operate to create forfeiture under the condition.
(2) This section applies where the condition of forfeiture is contained in an instrument executed, made, or coming into operation before or after the commencement of the Conveyancing (Amendment) Act 1930 , but only in cases where such person becomes entitled to receive payment of the income, or to call for an assurance or delivery of the other property, or, where the alienation with the sanction of the court is made after such commencement.
