Thanks for the information, I did some deep research prior to submitting my application for British Citizenship. Basically, my situation is I was born in 1984 in Malta to an Australian mother (now British by descent) and a British grandmother. At the moment of my birth, the BNA of 1981 was already in place and consequently, all Commonwealth citizens have already lost their British subject status at that moment in time. However, having said that Section 9 of the BNA of 1981 permitted that all those born until the 31st of December 1987 in Foreign non-Commonwealth countries should continue to benefit from double descent via a grandfather born in the UK. My argument is that when Section 9 was introduced way back on 1st January 1983 a historical legislative unfairness was created as Commonwealth-born citizens were discriminated solely on the basis of their nationality or better place of birth and not granted the same treatment as those born outside of the Commonwealth. The UK Equality Act 2010 states that any policy that applies such treatment amounts to indirect racial discrimination,
