A quick definition of place-of-wrong rule:

The place-of-wrong rule, also known as lex loci delicti, is a legal principle that states that the law of the place where a tort or other wrong was committed applies to the case. This means that the laws of the country or state where the harm occurred will be used to determine liability and damages. It is also called the place-of-wrong law or lex loci delictus. This rule is important in cases involving conflicts of laws and is used in various areas of law, including negligence, torts, and privacy rights.

A more thorough explanation:

The place-of-wrong rule, also known as lex loci delicti, is a legal principle that refers to the law of the place where a tort or other wrong was committed. This means that the laws of the jurisdiction where the harm occurred will be used to determine liability and damages.

For example, if a person is injured in a car accident while driving in another state or country, the laws of that state or country will be used to determine who is at fault and what damages should be awarded. Similarly, if a company is accused of committing fraud in a foreign country, the laws of that country will be used to determine whether the company is liable and what penalties should be imposed.

The place-of-wrong rule is important in cases where there are conflicts between the laws of different jurisdictions. By using the law of the place where the harm occurred, courts can ensure that justice is served and that the parties involved are held accountable for their actions.
