Whether respondent abandoned English domicile for Malawi; court held he retained English domicile and dismissed the petition.
Conflict of laws — Domicile — domicile of origin versus domicile of choice — acquisition requires residence plus intention to reside indefinitely — foreseen intention to return (e.g. on retirement) defeats domicile change — burden of proof on party alleging change — jurisdiction for divorce dependent on domicile.
