Most significant connection
The principle of the conflict of laws according to which the "proper" (i.e. applicable) law of a contract or tort is the law which, on policy grounds, appears to have the most significant connection with the chain of acts and consequences in the particular case at hand. 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".
Most significant relationship

Reese, the principal author of the Restatement (Second) of the Conflict of Laws, 1969, where it figures prominently.
