Kelly v Pyres
[2018] EWCA Civ 1368; [2019] 1 FLR 62
Key Principle
To displace a domicile of origin and establish an English domicile of choice for divorce jurisdiction the petitioner must prove, by clear evidence to the ordinary civil standard, both residence in England and a fixed intention to reside there permanently or for the indefinite future; treating England merely as a financial base or place of medical care, without genuine personal connection, is insufficient.
