סקירה כללית
Descent does not transmit where the Grenadian parent is a citizen only by descent (Constitution s.97 read with s.94(3)); the first-generation-abroad limiter caps indefinite jus sanguinis.
מי זכאי
- Generational limit (one-generation descent abroad): s.97 transmission is excluded where the Grenadian parent is a citizen of Grenada ONLY 'by virtue of this section [s.97] or section 94(3)'. A parent who is Grenadian solely by descent (s.97) — or solely by the colonial out-of-Grenada CUKC-descent route at independence (s.94(3)) — does NOT transmit citizenship to a child born abroad. Thus citizenship-by-descent abroad does not cascade indefinitely across successive foreign-born generations; the chain stops after one generation born abroad to a descent-only parent. - Transitional descent at independence (s.94(3)) and its non-transmitting character: a person born OUTSIDE Grenada who was, on 6 February 1974, a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies became a citizen of Grenada on 7 February 1974 if his or her father or mother became (or would but for death have become) a Grenadian citizen under s.94(1) or s.94(2). This is the colonial-descent conversion route at independence — and citizenship acquired via s.94(3) is itself NON-transmitting under the s.97 limiter, so a person Grenadian by s.94(3) cannot pass citizenship to a child born abroad. Together with s.97's self-exclusion this defines the generational ceiling on out-of-Grenada descent.

Not eligible by automatic descent — the one-generation-abroad limiter blocks transmission.
Constitution s.97, read with s.94(3), excludes transmission where the Grenadian parent is a citizen 'only by descent' (s.97) or only by the colonial out-of-Grenada route (s.94(3)). The mother is Grenadian by descent only, so she cannot pass citizenship by automatic descent to her own foreign-born child. The chain stops after one generation born abroad. The grandchild's realistic path is statutory grandchild registration (GD-DSC-03, s.5A / SRO 68/2016), not automatic descent.

Eligible by descent — the limiter is parent-specific and the father is Grenadian otherwise than by descent.
The s.97 generational limiter excludes transmission only where the relevant Grenadian parent is a citizen 'only by descent/s.94(3)'. s.97 requires merely that 'a parent' be Grenadian otherwise than by descent. The father is Grenadian by birth, so he qualifies as the transmitting parent and the child is a citizen by descent. The mother's descent-only status is irrelevant once one qualifying parent exists.
nationality: British
Not eligible by automatic descent (and not by s.5A grandchild registration either, as the link is too remote).
Automatic descent under s.97 caps at one generation born abroad to a parent who is Grenadian otherwise than by descent; a great-grandparent link with two intervening foreign-born descent-only generations cannot transmit. The statutory s.5A/SRO 68/2016 route (GD-DSC-03) extends to a grandchild of a Grenadian, not a great-grandchild. Absent a qualifying grandparent link, no descent/registration route is available; only ordinary naturalisation (5/7-yr residence, s.7) would remain.
nationality: foreign-born
Not eligible by automatic descent — s.94(3)-acquired citizenship is itself non-transmitting under the s.97 limiter.
GD-DSC-02 establishes that citizenship acquired via s.94(3) (the colonial out-of-Grenada CUKC-descent conversion at independence) is non-transmitting under the s.97 limiter — the parent is treated like a descent-only citizen and cannot pass citizenship to a child born abroad. The child must look to the s.5A/SRO 68/2016 grandchild registration route if a qualifying Grenadian-born grandparent exists.
