Any person
Any person, the effect of the 1994 amendment on s. 147 is unambiguous. Where earlier, the words 'any person' could be held not to include the owner of the goods or his authorised representative travelling in the goods vehicle, Parliament has now made it clear that such a construction is no longer possible.

In this sense the place where a person has his actual residence, inhabitancy, or commorancy, is sometimes called his domicile. In a strict and legal sense, that is properly the domicile of a person where he has his true fixed permanent home and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning (animus revertendi).Two things, then, must concur to constitute domicile: first, residence; and secondly, the intention of making it the home of the party. There must be the fact and intent; for, as Pothier has truly observed, a person cannot establish a domicile in a place except it be animo et facto.From these considerations and rules the general conclusion may be deduced, that domicile is of three sorts: domicile by birth, domicile by choice, and domicile by operation of law. The first is the ...
