This article probably needs to be tidied up given this recent UK court judgment:
http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2018/1586.html
Especially para 37 'In my judgment, a British Overseas citizen who is not a national of any other State, and who is not under article 1(2) of the 1954 UN Convention a person to whom the Convention does not apply, is a stateless person for the purpose of paragraph 403(b) of the Immigration Rules. He has nowhere else to go. The fundamental purpose of the Immigration Rules, identified in s.3(2) of the Immigration Act 1971, is to set out who can come and stay here. A BOC who has nowhere else to go is in this context a stateless person. His BOC status is a "formal link of a political and legal character". But that is not the test.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruritanian2018 ( talk • contribs) 23:26, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Here's an attempt at restating some of what's in the "Acquisition and loss" section to see if I understand it correctly.
The above conditions define why someone might not be a CUKC in 1983 and hence why you might not become a BOC. But is this information relevant to this article? If we have an article on CUKCs, then surely the above information belongs in a section of that article on "Loss of CUKC status"? That section would also include the final transition to BOC status, but why does this article need to mention the possibility that someone was a CUKC in 1962 and lost that status with the independence of the country they were born in, twenty years before BOC status was created?
