The Notion of Domicile in Current Canon Law

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the notion of domicile in the Latin and Eastern canon law from a canonical point of view. The Author claims that in the current canon law there is no legal definition of domicile. A definition has to be deduced from other norms, especially concerning its acquisition and loss, based on the legal-theoretical and historical principles of this institution (1.1.). Describing domicile’s traditional elements (corpus and animus), the Author notes some inflexibility in the notion of domicile (2.1.3.). Then, basing himself on the criterion of the will, he indicates three theories regarding domicile in canonical doctrine (3.1.). The Author favours the mixed theory or the two-part modified theory, and so he distinguishes proper domicile (and there exist a voluntary and a factual domicile) from improper domicile (that is, the necessary or legal domicile) (3.1.3.).
