Connecting Factor of Habitual Residence at EU and Iranian Conflicting Rules In EU Law, habitual residence is an important connecting factor in relation to conflict of forums and conflict of laws, particularly in personal matters. EU rules and regulation, which are enforceable directly and without a need for approval of domestic bodies, regularly consider this connecting factor and replace traditional connecting factors such as domicile in Common Law and nationality in Civil Law countries. The recognition of the objective factor of residence, the domicile, increases predictability in international relationship. At same time, a close relationship between persons and applicable law provides flexibility regarding conflict of law rules, and unlike the criterion of nationality, it prevents absolute application of rules of a specific country . Moreover, by applying the habitual residence factor, courts are often referred to material rules of Lex Fori and therefore, they are not concerned with problems of proving foreign law.

The general rule of abuse of right has been used in many legal contexts,including contract law and family law. Rules and norms on private internationallaw have been affected by this general rule. Forum shopping in conflict offorums and evasion in conflict of laws are the current issues which confront withthe abuse of right. Different legal systems have, however, adopted differentapproaches by considering historical origins and social structures. In commonlaw tradition, forum shopping rule has been used for declining jurisdiction,whereas civil law system is unfamiliar with this concept. On the other hand,while evasion is, historically, regarded as one of the obstacles to theenforcement of foreign law in civil law regime, public policy and mandatoryrules are the only barriers in the enforcement of foreign law in common law. InIranian law, none of these rules have been formulated and as a result, theadaptation of these concepts with general principle is difficult.
