Domicile and residence
Domicile and residence, etymologically, 'residence' and 'domicile' carry the same meaning, inasmuch as both refer to the permanent home, but under Private International Law, 'domicile' carries a little different sense and exhibits many facets. In spite of having a permanent home, a person may have a commercial, a political or forensic domicile. 'Domicile' may also take many colours; it may be domicile of origin, domicile of choice, domicile by operation of law or domicile of dependence. In Private International Law domicile' jurisprudentially has a different concept altogether, Union of India v.

Actor
Actor, a doer, generally a plaintiff or complainant. In a civil or private action the plaintiff was called by the Romans petitor; in a public action (causa publica) he was called accusator. (Cic. Ad. Att. 1. 16.) The defendant was called reus, both in private and public causes; this term, however, according to Cicero (de Orat. Ii. 43), might signify either party, as indeed we might conclude from the word itself. In a private action the defendant was often called adversarius, but either party might be called so with respect to the other. Also a proctor or advocate in civil Courts or causes. Actor dominicus, a term often used for the lord's bailiff or attorney. Actor ecclesi' was sometimes the forensic term for the advocate or pleading patron of a church.
