Etheredge v. Genie Industries, Inc.green2 sentences1997Although Fitzgerald's argument is based on the legal principle underlying the lex loci delicti rule, which requires a state to apply only the substantive law of the other state, he incorrectly contends that § 25-5-11 (c) is procedural in nature. " 'The distinction between "substance" and "procedure" has medieval origins: a court will apply foreign law only to the extent that it deals with the substance of the case, i.e., affects the outcome of the litigation, but will rely on forum law to deal with the "procedural" aspects of the litigation.' " Etheredge v. Genie Industries, Inc. , 632 So.2d 1 1995When applying the law of another state pursuant to the lex loci delicti principle, this court "enforce[s] only those laws of the other state which are substantive in nature."
