Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Foote Estate (Re), 2009 ABQB 654 (CanLII):

As I have explained above, the commonly-accepted principle is that the lex fori is used to determine questions of domicile. That is the common-law position, and has been well accepted in Alberta: Gillespie v. Grant, at para. 56.
