Opis: The Conflict of Laws in Cases of Divorce (Classic Reprint) - Fraser Lord Patrick

Excerpt from The Conflict of Laws in Cases of Divorce

The conflict of laws in reference to cases of divorce has been the matter of controversy in this kingdom for more than half a century. For a considerable period the controversy has flagged, being trampled out of sight by subjects of a more pressing and imperial character. Yet it is one which possesses all the largeness of national, and all the individuality of private, interest. New life has been thrown into the discussion by the recent proceedings of the House of Lords in reference to the Conjugal Rights (Scotland) Bill. Not merely has the old controversy been revived, but doctrines which had been considered settled have been called in question, and strong language has been employed in stigmatising the opinions which have guided the decisions of Scottish and American Courts, - opinions which have their source in the Roman Jurisprudence, and which, in the balance of good and evil, are more consistent with justice than the opposite.

The assailant in the present instance is a Scotsman. It is not the first time that he has signalised himself in attacks on the consistorial law of his native country; but, in the present instance, his views have had a practical effect, which, fortunately for Scotland, they never before attained. Lord Chancellor Campbell has contrived to deprive us of a measure that would have remedied many evils. He has kept many unfortunate persons in trouble whom the Conjugal Rights Bill would have relieved; and he has not advanced a step in establishing a theory alike condemned by expediency and by principle. In all this he is no doubt acting with all the confidence of conviction and all the earnestness of a patriot.
