Permanent Grant
A 999-year lease, under historic Common Law, is a Permanent Lease of property. Permanent Lease locations are in Britain, its former colonies and the Commonwealth. A former colony, the Republic of Mauritius (The Raphael Fishing Company Ltd v. The State of Mauritius & Anor (Mauritius) [2008] UKPC 43 (30 July 2008)) established legal precedent on 30 July 2008 in respect of a 1901 'permanent lease' on the following Thirteen Islands of St. Brandon (Cargados Carajos) :

These Thirteen Islands of St. Brandon (Cargados Carajos), Mauritius, were converted from a 1901 Permanent Lease (999-year lease) to a Permanent Grant by the Privy Council (United Kingdom) in 2008. The Privy Council (United Kingdom) judgment (Article 71) confirmed Raphaël Fishing Company legally as ''the holder of a Permanent Grant of the thirteen islands mentioned in the 1901 Deed (transcribed in Vol TB25 No 342) subject to the conditions therein referred to'
