    [2016] UKPC 25 Privy Council Appeal No 0044 of 2015 JUDGMENT Cenac and others (Appellants) v Schafer (Respondent) (Saint Lucia) From the Court of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (Saint Lucia) before Lord Clarke Lord Sumption Lord Carnwath Lord Hodge Sir Kim Lewison JUDGMENT GIVEN ON 2 August 2016 Heard on 19 July 2016 Appellants Respondent Seryozha Cenac Peter I Foster QC Leslie Prospere Renee T St Rose (Instructed by Campbell (Instructed by Charles Chambers) Russell Speechlys LLP) SIR KIM LEWISON: 1. Like many places in and around the Caribbean the law of Saint Lucia restricts the holding of land by aliens without a government licence. The principal issues on this appeal concern the legal effect of those restrictions on a transaction between US citizens. 2. In 1986 Mr and Mrs Cenac, who are both citizens of Saint Lucia, owned a parcel of land extending to about eight acres known as La Battery. It was registered in the Land Registry as Block 0031B, Parcel 20. By a deed of sale dated 29 August 1986 Mr and Mrs Cenac sold the land to Dr and Mrs Smith, who are US citizens. The deed recited that Dr and Mrs Smith were duly licenced to hold the land by virtue of a licence granted under the Aliens (Landholding Regulation) Act (No 10 of 1973). The licence had been granted by the Governor-General on 30 August 1985, and was made subject to the conditions in its Second Schedule which read: “THE PROPERTY is to be used for the purpose of building a residence and developing agriculture - the building to be completed within three years of the date of issue of this licence.” 3.
