The s.91(a) jus-soli exceptions (diplomat child; enemy-alien wartime birth) and the foundling rule — a new-born deemed born in SKN to a citizen parent (Constitution s.95(5)(c) + Citizenship Act Cap 1.05 s.3(1)).
Кто имеет право
- Diplomat-child exception to jus soli: a person born in SKN on/after 19 Sep 1983 does NOT acquire citizenship by birth if at the time of birth neither parent is a citizen AND either parent has such immunity from suit and legal process as is accorded to the envoy of a foreign sovereign power accredited to SKN (Constitution s.91(a) proviso (i)). - Enemy-alien wartime exception to jus soli: a person born in SKN on/after 19 Sep 1983 does NOT acquire citizenship by birth if at the time of birth either parent is a citizen of a country with which Her Majesty is at war AND the birth occurs in a place then under occupation by that country (Constitution s.91(a) proviso (ii)). - Foundling rule (constitutional): a newborn infant found abandoned in SKN shall, unless the contrary is shown, be regarded as having been born in SKN — and therefore acquires jus-soli citizenship under s.91(a) (Constitution s.95(5)(c)). - Foundling rule (statutory restatement): for the purposes of s.91(a) of the Constitution, where after 19 Sep 1983 a newborn infant is found abandoned in SKN, that infant shall, unless the contrary is shown, be deemed to have been born in SKN and thereby to have become a citizen at the date of birth (Citizenship Act Cap. 1.05 s.3(1)).

Примеры сценариев
Примеры сценариев приведены на английском языке.
Father's citizenship at death is used to assess any descent/parentage claim.
Constitution s.95(2): a reference to the national status of a parent at the time of birth is, for a child born after the father's death, construed as a reference to the father's status at his death. Where the child is born in SKN, s.91(a) makes the place of birth decisive anyway; the deeming rule matters for a child born abroad relying on the father's line.
Deemed born in SKN and a citizen by birth from the date of birth, unless the contrary is shown.
Citizenship Act Cap 1.05 s.3(1): a new-born infant found abandoned in SKN after 19 Sep 1983 is, unless the contrary is shown, deemed to have been born in SKN and to have become a citizen at the date of birth. This is the statutory foundling rule operationalising s.91(a) of the Constitution; it is rebuttable on proof of foreign birth.
Deemed born in SKN (place of vessel registration) — citizen by birth.
Constitution s.95(1): a person born aboard a registered ship or aircraft is deemed born in the place in which the ship/aircraft is registered. A child born on a SKN-flagged vessel is therefore treated as born in SKN and acquires citizenship by birth under s.91(a). Edge case fixing the deeming rule for births in transit.
