Double actionability is a doctrine of private international law which holds that an action for an alleged tort committed in a foreign jurisdiction can be successful in a domestic court only if it would be actionable under both the laws of the home jurisdiction and the foreign jurisdiction. The rule is no longer used in Canadian law and instead the ''lex loci delicti'' rule is used.〔''Tolofson v. Jensen'' () 3 S.C.R. 1022〕 Likewise, the rule no longer forms part of Australian law which also uses the ''lex loci delicti'' rule.〔John Pfeiffer Pty Ltd v Rogerson (2000) 203 CLR 503〕 This rule holds that the applicable law for a tort committed in a foreign place will be the tort law of the foreign place. It remains used in New Zealand tort law.〔 "Baxter v RMC Group plc" () 1 NZLR 304. 〕 Though its continued existence has been called in to question, with many suggesting it should be replaced with a rule similar to that of Canada's. The rule has largely been abandoned in English law by virtue of section 10 of (The Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995 ), although defamation claims are specifically excluded (cf. section 13(1)). ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double actionability」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
