Validity of power of appointment
52No appointment that, from and after the commencement of this Act, is made in the exercise of any power to appoint any property, real or personal, amongst several objects shall be invalid on the ground that an unsubstantial, illusory or nominal share only is thereby appointed to, or left unappointed to, devolve upon any one or more of the objects of the power, or on the ground that any object of the power has been altogether excluded; but every such appointment shall be valid, notwithstanding that any one or more of the objects shall not thereby, or in default of appointment, take more than an unsubstantial, illusory or nominal share of the property subject to the power.
R.S., c.177, s.49
