Conflict of tort laws
In conflict of laws, the choice of law rules for tort are intended to select the ''lex causae'' by which to determine the nature and scope of the judicial remedy to claim damages for loss or damage suffered.
==History==
The first attempts to establish a coherent ''choice of law'' rule for tort cases involving a foreign law element varied between favouring the lex fori (i.e. the law of the court) and the ''lex loci delicti commissi'' (i.e. the law of the place where the tort was committed). The public policy of territorial sovereignty was always the principal consideration. Hence, the forum courts claimed their right to apply their laws to determine whether any lawsuit initiated in their jurisdiction allowed a remedy. Equally, it is the commission of a tort that vests a right of action in a claimant and therefore, it should always be for the law of the place where that right was created to determine the extent of any remedy flowing from it. In the end, a compromise emerged where the ''lex loci delicti'' was the first point of reference but courts retained a discretion to substitute the ''lex fori'' if the foreign law was deemed unfair and other practical considerations pointed to the application of forum law.
In the U.S., see the New York decision in ''Babcock v. Jackson'', 191 N.E.2d 279 (N.Y. 1963) for a discussion of the issues. This led to a debate in which state interests, rather than strict territorial connections, were suggested as the basis of a new test. In 1971, the American Law Institute produced the Second Conflicts Restatements and section 6 provides that the applicable law should be the one with the "most significant relationship" to the tort. In other common law states, a parallel movement occurred and resulted in the adoption of a ''proper law'' test. In substance, both forms are similar in their approach.
