This Act concerns control of holding of interests in land in Montserrat by foreigners, i.e. a person other than a person who is deemed to belong to Montserrat under the provisions of section 2(2)(b) of the Immigration Act. The Act also provides for forfeiture of land and mortgages held by persons not belonging to Montserrat after commencement of the Act. Land may be acquired and held by a person not belonging to Montserrat under a lease of maximum five years or an annual tenancy or for any less interest for the purposes of residence, trade, or business, but such person shall not so hold more than five acres of land. The Governor may, from time to time, grant to any person not belonging to Montserrat a licence in Form A as set out in the Schedule to hold land as owner or tenant or mortgagee. The Act contains special provisions for nationals of a Caribbean Community country.
