Case Summary - Rooke v Dawson [1895]
Facts of the case The trust deed provided for an award to a student who had gone to study at either New College London or University College London from Mill Hill School. The award was also for student who had obtained the highest mark on the examination set by the trustee. The trustees of the scholarship fund advertised and held the examination. The plaintiff obtained the highest marks but the trustees / defendants refused to award the scholarship. Held Per Chitty J, the advertisement was nothing more than a proclamation that an examination for a scholarship would be held. There is no announcement that scholar who obtained the highest mark will be awarded the scholarship. The court refused to import the terms of the trust deed into the advertisement and there was no contract between the parties.
