Most significant connection

This connection is assessed by consideration of the "connecting factors," or "contacts" (supra), linking the legal situation concerned with the different jurisdictions involved. The term was used by J.H.C. Morris in his renowned essays, "Torts in the Conflict of Laws" (1949) 12 Modern Law Rev. 248 and "The Proper Law of a Tort" (1951) 64 Harv. L. Rev. 881. In contract conflicts, the corresponding term generally used in the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth countries today is "closest and most real connection".
