Nationality, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book considers the complexities of British nationality and the implications of being a British subject abroad. The author dissects the concept of 'territoriality of sovereignty' which underpins the lack of application of British law to British subjects overseas. The book considers various Acts of Parliament which profess to have extra-territorial application. These are considered in detail to determine the persons to whom, and the area over which, the legislation applies. An analysis of the legislation is then tested by the application of the principles to the several details of the statutes. The book examines the question of extra-territorial marriages, wills, oaths, and the taking of evidence. There is also a discussion of the enjoyment by persons abroad of territorial rights in the UK in light of copyright law. The book concludes by examining the important question of the extension of jurisdiction seaward for the purposes of creating and protecting the home sea-fisheries.
