On construction of clause 8 the members are entitled to transfer the surplus to Caritas Hong Kong because Caritas' constitution does not permit distribution of assets to members and its amendment powers do not, on the evidence, disqualify it; alternatively the fallback phrase in clause 8 and the court's cy-pres jurisdiction permit the transfer if clause 8 were inapplicable.
