Better rule of law
Unlike Currie's governmental interest analysis, which called for the lex fori in conflict of law cases, or functional analysis, which weighs one government's interest against the other to resolve conflict cases, Robert A. Leflar advocated evaluating each government's interest with five "choice influencing considerations." The last, and eventually the most famous and influential of these five considerations called for the application of "the better rule of law." These criteria were criticized for being excessively subjective, and thus unpredictable.
Betterments
Improvement's made to an estate. It signifies such improvements as have been made to the estate which render it better than mere repairs.
