The Canadian authority who in the Dicey and Morris/Restatement fashion, proposes two hundred and five rules to the conflicts of law. The first forty-seven rules refer to generalities and to jurisdiction, but the remainder consists of specific and detailed rules for specific issues. McLeod cites both English and Canadian jurisprudence, which he criticizes and synthesizes to formulate the proposed rules. He does, nevertheless, accept that issues such as domicile, residence and situs are really only connecting factors.
