center of gravity theory

center of gravity theory
A theory in the subject of conflict of laws, that the execution, validity, construction, and performance of a contract should be governed by the law of the place with which the matter in dispute has the most significant contacts, instead of looking to the place of execution or of performance, or to the intention of the parties, to determine which law shall govern. 16 Am J2d Confl L § 42.
