Announcement of findings
Count sant title.
* 13-12- 2006: (Findings) (De Jure Count Sant) - Titled: Stephen Sant Fournier, Count Sant Fournier, as the
primogeniture went to Lazzaro Sant and his descendants and several documents
state that the Count title belongs to the Sant Fourniers. This providing a
possibility that all male to male descendants of the 1st Count Sant are
entitled under the Germanic system as Counts (Graf) within the order
of primogeniture. All male to male descendants can style Counts (Graf) and
daughters can style Countess (Contessa, Grdfin), but not their
descendants. Though in the direct line, inheritance may be accepted via
female line as the Count Sant of the Holy Roman Empire and in Malta. Another
example is the Head of the Sant Manduca line, John Mary dei Conti Sant
Manduca was accepted by HRH, Duca di Calabria as Count, thus pushing further the
acceptance to all male descendants. All Spouses can style Countess (Contessa, Grdfin).
As Eldest and most direct line,
John Sant Cassia is the 8th Count Sant, and the eldest and most
direct line of the primogeniture Sant is Stephen Sant Fournier, Count Sant
Fournier.

Announcement of
Title
Would-be baron
claims violation of human right
10th November 2006.
A claimant to a barony yesterday filed a constitutional
case claiming that he was denied the right to a court hearing in violation of
his fundamental human rights.
Philip Bugeja Viani filed his application
against the Attorney General. He said that his late mother held the title of
Baroness of Tabrija and that, after her demise in 2000, he had requested the
Committee of Privileges of the Maltese Nobility to recognise him as Baron of
Tabrija.
But the committee had informed Mr Bugeja
Viani, in July last year that his request was to be denied and that Corinne
Ramsay Scicluna was to be recognised as Baroness of Tabrija. Mr Bugeja Viani
said that the Gieh Ir-Repubblika Act specifically provided that no public
authority could recognise, in any manner, a title of nobility.
As a result, he was being deprived of his
right to have recourse to the courts to contest the committee's decision.
The Gieh Ir-Repubblika Act specifically
precluded the courts from deciding upon cases of recognition of titles of
nobility.
This, said Mr Bugeja Viani, was in
violation of his fundamental human right to have recourse to the courts.
It was also in violation of his right to an
effective remedy.
Lawyer Tonio Azzopardi acted for Mr Bugeja
Viani.
