Key Principle

Domicile turns on a person's 'real' or 'chief' residence judged by the quality (not size, amenities or quantity of time) of the residence, and a domicile of origin revives where a person abandons a domicile of choice without acquiring (with both residence and the requisite intention to reside permanently or indefinitely) a new domicile of choice elsewhere.
