Vested rights doctrine
Vested rights doctrineThe vested rights doctrine, espoused by Joseph Beale and promoted in England by A.V. Dicey, held that the duty to recognize another jurisdiction's law was not dependent on comity, with its expectation of reciprocity, but rather on the mere fact that such rights had been validly created under the foreign law of their place of origin, i.e. that they were vested rights.
