Principles of preference
Believing that a just result was the paramount goal of choice of law decisions, David F. Cavers (supra) called on courts to analyze the controlling policies underlying the different competing laws and the concrete results which their application would entail in the given case. These results were then to be appraised from the standpoint of justice or broader considerations of social policy. The process, argued Cavers, would eventually result in the development of criteria for assessing the competing social values advanced by competing rules, so that the preferable rule could be identified. Ultimately, these criteria came to be known as Cavers' "principles of preference."
