Domicile (under the law of England and Wales) definition
Published by a LexisNexis Private Client expert
What does Domicile (under the law of England and Wales) mean?
Every person acquires at birth a domicile of origin which is generally the domicile of their father. A domicile of origin remains with a person throughout their life unless they replace it with a domicile of choice elsewhere. A domicile of choice is, ordinarily, where somebody has their permanent home to which, if absent, they intend to return. Such absence may be long term. A domicile of origin can revive if a domicile of choice is abandoned without a new one being acquired. A dependant generally has the same domicile as the person on whom they are dependent.
