A quick definition of lex delicti:

Term: LEX DELICTI

Definition: Lex delicti is a Latin term that refers to the law of the place where a tort or other wrong was committed. It is also known as lex loci delicti, place-of-wrong rule, or place-of-wrong law. In simple terms, it means that the law that applies to a wrongdoing is the law of the place where it happened. For example, if someone is injured in a car accident in California, the law that applies to the case would be California law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex delicti is a Latin term that refers to the law of the place where a tort or other wrong was committed. It is also known as lex loci delicti.

Example: If a person is injured in a car accident while driving in California, the lex delicti would be the law of California, which would govern any legal action taken in relation to the accident.

This means that if the injured person wants to file a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident, they would need to follow the legal procedures and laws of California, even if they are from a different state or country.

Overall, lex delicti is an important concept in the field of conflict of laws, as it helps to determine which jurisdiction's laws should apply in cases where a wrong has been committed in one place but legal action is being taken in another.
