 CRS/LII Annotated Constitution Article IV
The Framers felt, however, that the rules of private international law should not be left among the States altogether on a basis of comity and hence subject always to the overruling local policy of the lex fori but ought to be in some measure at least placed on the higher plane of constitutional obligation.

A judgment enforceable in the State where rendered must be given effect in another State, notwithstanding that the modes of procedure to enforce its collection may not be the same in both States.

The principle of domicile (lex domicilii) is taken as the basis mainly on the Anglo-American legal territory, but also in Switzerland and in some Scandinavian countries; the principle of nationality (lex nationalis) dominates in the rest of Europe.
The principle of lex domicilii rather than the principle of nationality was taken as a basis already in the Baltic Private Law Code that entered into force in 1865 and that can be considered the first code in force on the territory of Estonia that contained the conflict of laws rules.
It is namely the principle of domicile that generally leads to the application of lex fori or the law of the court’s state of location because a person’s domicile is more likely to coincide with jurisdiction than his or her nationality.
