Re Bowes [1896] 1 Ch 507 is an English trusts law case, concerning the policy of the "beneficiary principle". It held that a trust which uses words relating to a purpose of doing something, but ultimately for the benefit of a group of people, can be construed as being for the benefit of those people. The consequence is that the people may exercise their right to dissolve the trust, according to Saunders v Vautier.
