| | British nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Thus the British Nationality Act 1948 provided for a new status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC), consisting of all those British subjects who had a close relationship (either through birth or descent) with the United Kingdom and its remaining colonies. | | | A person became a British National (Overseas) by making a valid application on the prescribed form to the British authorities to be registered for that nationality, and applicants only became a British National (Overseas) when their application was approved and duly registered by the Home Secretary. | | | Article 4(1) of the Order provided that on and after 1 July 1987, there would be a new form of British nationality, the holders of which would be known as British Nationals (Overseas). |

| | Mutineers who burned the British navy ship Bounty at Pitcairn Island in 1790 ceased being British subjects when they did it, a lawyer for seven of their descendants said today in an argument key to their court battle against sex crime charges. | | | “Each and every one was illegitimate because there were no marriages according to British law, and they could not be regarded as British subjects,” Cook told the court. | | | They are asking the Pitcairn Court of Appeal – being held in Auckland, New Zealand for logistical reasons – to overturn a lower court’s ruling that British laws apply to them. |

| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
| | Britain's constitutional arrangement adopted various protections for British subjects in the Magna Carta (1215), the Bill of Rights of 1689, and English common law, while many of the colonial charters also contained protections for various customary rights. | | | The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing certain rights to the people are known collectively as the U.S. Bill of Rights. | | | None of these proclamations of rights could prevail against a legally omnipotent act of Parliament, however. |

| | But after 1 May 1987, all reference to the status of “British subject”; - for the purposes of Australian law - disappeared under the Australian Citizens Amendment Act, 1984 (Cth). | | | So we were British subjects under British law until 1981, and under Australian law until 1987. | | | I think this states the correct legal and constitutional position about the use of the term “subject of The Queen”:- |

| | The law covering British subject status is in the British Nationality Act 1981 and the Regulations made under it. | | | A person is normally regarded as settled in the United Kingdom or a British overseas territory if he or she is ordinarily resident there without being restricted, under the immigration laws, as to how long he or she can stay there. | | | The Home Secretary can register any child under 18 as a British subject but very rarely agrees to registration. |

| | The United Kingdom legislation, the British Nationality Act 1948, created the status of British subject: Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (BS/CUKC) for all those whose connection was with the United Kingdom itself or with a place which, on 1 January 1949, was still a colony. | | | The Act also provided for two categories of persons to remain "British subjects" only (not CUKCs). | | | The term "Commonwealth citizen" no longer has the same meaning as "British subject" although persons connected with the Republic of Ireland, India or Pakistan who were British subjects under the 1948 Act (see paragraph 5 above) retain that status under the 1981 Act. |

| | In May 1839, Normanby wrote to the British Attorney General, recommending a cession of sovereignty, but also, outlining the fact that the practice and jurisdiction of British government in New Zealand would be limited to the rule over British settlers. | | | In August 1839, a letter from Palmerston, the British Foreign Secretary, revealed that the basis of Britain's intervention in New Zealand lay in the fact that specifically British settlement in the colony '...indispensably requires the check of some contending authority'.(4) No mention was made of such authority extending its jurisdiction to Maori. | | | Hobson's Proclamations of 30 January 1840 referred, significantly, to the existing and prospective settlement of British subjects in New Zealand, as though to provide some constitutional safety-net should the plans for the Treaty not eventuate. |

| | Allegiance to the Crown, and the monarch who was for the time being its visible and personal embodiment, was the common element of nationality shared by all British subjects, including those born in Australia. | | | Putting legal considerations to one side, it is unfortunate from the perspective of Australia's national development that some members of the High Court allow discrimination in favour of 'British subjects' (whatever the exact extent of that phrase) in relation to 'alien' status. | | | The fate of the British migrant who has lived in Perth for the last 26 years will depend on the High Court's decision in several similar matters due to be heard in mid-2003. |
