Discussion
The concept of habitual residence is used in a number of international conventions beginning with the Hague Convention on Civil Procedure of 14 November, 1896 and a number of international conventions dealing with Conflict to complement or supplant the traditional connecting factor of domicile, e. g. in the Rome Convention 1980, but it was replaced, with respect to legal entities by the new connecting factor of principal office. Note This Wikipedia entry deals with the legal concept legal person. It is the basis of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the Convention on International Child Abduction, etc. Habitual residence is something less than domicile but more than simple residence. In Conflict of Laws, domicile (sometimes termed domicil in the U It may also be more discriminating that the test of nationality or lex patriae in that the connection is to a specific location within a state rather than to the country of nationality which may contain several states. Nationality is a relationship between a Person and their State of Origin, Culture, association Affiliation and/or Loyalty The term lex patriae is Latin for the law of Nationality in the Conflict of Laws which is the system of Public law applied to In Political geography and International politics, a country is a Political division of a geographical entity Hence, where a country contains more than one legal system, the residence must determine which of the several possible laws might apply (e. g. in the United States which of the laws of the U.S. states is to be applied). The United States of America —commonly referred to as the A US state is any one of the fifty subnational entities of the United States of America that share Sovereignty with the federal government A suparanational example of this selection process is contained in Article 19 of the Rome Convention:
- States with more than one legal system
- Where a State comprises several territorial units each of which has its own rules of law in respect of contractual obligations, each territorial unit shall be considered as a country for the purposes of identifying the law applicable under this Convention. Supranationalism is a method of decision-making in political communities wherein power is democratically entrusted to independent experienced appointed personalities or to representatives In Conflict of Laws, the Rome Convention is the Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations and it opened for signature in Rome
- A State within which different territorial units have their own rules of law in respect of contractual obligations shall not be bound to apply this Convention to conflicts solely between the laws of such units.
Comparison with domicile
To establish a domicile of choice, it is necessary to have a clear factual base in one state and that must be accompanied by an animus semper manendi, an intention to reside there indefinitely. The term State has several meanings in law in Private international law and Conflict of laws, State can refer to a well-defined jurisdiction with its own set Although it is not so difficult to produce evidence that an individual has established a home in a state, it is very difficult to prove that someone has no intention of ever establishing a home in another state. The test for habitual residence is less demanding. The court focuses on the past experience of the individual, and not so much on future intention. A person can have only one habitual residence. It is the place where the individual ordinarily resides and routinely returns to after visiting other places. It is the place he or she would consider to be "home" and it is established as a matter of geography over a reasonably significant period of time. Since habitual residence is a test of fact, it cannot be a purely legal concept and there are different views about the factual situations which it is supposed to denote. Some authors believe that the sole criterion that the test of habitual residence should be purely objective, seeking evidence of physical presence over a considerable period of time. Others assert that the test should be both objective and subjective elements, i. e. the factum or physical presence in a given place and the animus to continue to stay there. The Hague Conference on Private International Law has deliberately refrained from offering a definition so that the concept may be flexible and adaptable to practical requirements. The Hague Conference on Private International Law (or HCCH for Hague Conference/Conférence de la Haye is the preeminent organisation in the area of Private international law Thus, habitual residence may be interpreted differently in different Conflict situations. However, the core of the test will tend to be based on evidence of a long-term stay accompanied by other evidence of the individual's personal and professional life to demonstrate the continuity of the connection between that person and the place of residence. To that extent, the intention of the individual may have some weight.
But it may be difficult to determine where a person has his or her habitual residence if he or she is constantly on the move and has no real or continuing connection with any of the countries through which he passes. This could be resolved by reference to the individual's intention, but while the test of intention is well defined in the case law for the purposes of domicile, there is no consensus of the strength of intention that would have to be shown to establish "habit". Similarly, there is no consensus on the length of time a person should have a home for it to become habitual.
In some countries, the legislature has produced a test. A legislature is a type of representative Deliberative assembly with the power to create amend and change Laws The law created by a legislature is called Legislation In Canada, the Domicile and Habitual Residence Act for Manitoba abolished the common law test of domicile and substituted in s8:
- (1) The domicile and habitual residence of each person is in the state and a subdivision thereof in which that person's principal home is situated and in which that person intends to reside.
