Fabrigas -v- Mostyn (1773) 20 St Tr 82; [1775] 1 Copp 161; [1775] 98 ER 1021
1775 Lord Mansfield CJ	Constitutional, Commonwealth, Personal Injury, Legal Professions	Casemap 1 Cites
	The plaintiff a native Minorquan sought to bring an action in England for an alleged assault and false imprisonment on him in Minorca by the Governor of Minorca. Held. Such an action could be brought. What foreign law is is a matter of fact to be determined by the provision of evidence, with the court assisting the jury to explain it. An action may not be brought against a judge on a court of record for something done by him in court. He may plead that it was done as such a judge, and that will be a complete defence.
