The court leans against the divesting of vested interests, and favours that construction which leads to the indefeasible vesting of property as soon as possible. Consequently, divesting conditions are construed strictly so that , if a provision divests a vested gift on a specified contingency, the gift is held not to be divested unless that precise contingency occurs. (Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 360-361) 1, record 1, English, - divest
