“Grenada:  In the Supreme Court of Grenada and the West Indies Associated States High Court of Justice (Civil)between the Attorney-General (Claimant) and Seaview Corporation Limited (Defendant) and Phoenix Company Limited (Added Defendant)..”

……The Defendant being an Alien under the Laws of Grenada applied for and was

granted an Alien Land Holders Licence on 1st February 1966 by the Government

of Grenada to hold the said lot of land. The Defendant represented to the

Government and proposed to carry out a development on the property.

…….It was a condition of the licence that the Defendant would grant the offshore island

L’Islette to the Government of Grenada and begin its proposed project within two

years of the grand of the licence, that is, before 1968.

…….The island L’Islette was never conveyed to the Government of Grenada and the

proposed project was never commenced by the Defendant within the stated time

frame of two years.

……The property was conveyed to Phoenix Limited sometime during the course of

1989. However, the original deed was misplaced and apparently never registered

at the Deeds and Land Registry, but copies of the said document do exist and

have been annexed to the various applications before this Court.

…….Phoenix Limited also applied for and received concessions approved by Cabinet.

These concessions were communicated to Phoenix by way of letter from the

Grenada Industrial Development Corporation dated 18th December 1987 and

addressed to Phoenix’s local agent, Mr. George de Bourg…….
