  • Property Law (civil law)
  • Commercial and Other Bodies (Law)
DEF

The word is used in law to denote the fact that a person dwells in a given place, or, in the case of a corporation, that its management is carried on there ... In the case of a person, residence connotes the idea of home, or at least of habitation, and need not necessarily be permanent or exclusive. The word denotes the place where an individual eats, drinks, and sleeps, or where his family or his servants eat, drink and sleep ...

CONT

... residence... has in many instances been employed by Judges and others to denote a person's habitual physical presence in a place or country which may or may not be his home. A person may have several residences in various countries; he can have... but one domicil, which, in reality, may not be and indeed may never have been his home. The distinction between domicil and residence is largely one of mental condition or intention; domicil is generally a question of intent, while residence is entirely a question of fact.

DEF

The permanent home of a person, or that place where a man has his true fixed and permanent home and principal establishment and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning. It is the relation which the law creates between an individual and a particular locality or country. In order to constitute domicile, a person must not only have his permanent home in the locality but also the animus manendi, that is, the intention to make that residence his permanent one.

OBS

The term "domicil" is by no means synonymous with either "home" or "residence". Home is a natural and untechnical conception : domicil is an artificial conception, it is an idea of law... The distinction between domicil and residence is largely one of mental condition or intention; domicil is generally a question of intent, while residence is entirely a question of fact. Domicil is independent of naturalization and allegiance...
