Law of Domicil as a Branch of the Law of England e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The subject of this treatise is the Law of Domicil. The book differs from most works on domicil in its scope, in the point of view from which its subject is treated, and in form. Some prefatory explanation therefore as regards each of these points may not be out of place.<br><br>Under the law of England a person's rights, and the legal effect of his acts are, in some cases, determined by reference to the law of the country where he has his home, or, in legal language, his domicil, which country is not necessarily the country where he is actually residing, or of which he is a citizen. This treatise, therefore, deals with three topics - the nature of domicil, the ascertainment of domicil (or the rules of evidence by which to determine whether a man is domiciled in one country rather than in another), and the legal effects of domicil. Thus it includes more than would be naturally contained in a mere essay on the nature of domicil, and covers about two-thirds of the subjects included in Story's Conflict of Laws or Westlake's Private International Law.<br><br>The law of domicil is often looked at as a branch of the subject called by an unfortunate misnomer Private International Law. In this treatise, however, it is considered solely as a part of the law of England.
