BRITISH LAW ASCERTAINMENT ACT - SECT 3

Opinion to be applied by the court making the remit, &c.

3. It shall be competent to any of the parties to the action, after having
obtained such certified copy of such opinion, to lodge the same with an
officer of the court in which the action may be depending, who may have the
official charge thereof, together with a notice of motion, setting forth that
the party will, on a certain day named in such notice, move the court to apply
the opinion contained in such certified copy thereof to the facts set forth in
the case herein-before specified; and the said court shall thereupon apply
such opinion to such facts, in the same manner as if the same had been
pronounced by such court itself upon a case reserved for opinion of the court,
or upon special verdict of a jury; or the said last-mentioned court shall, if
it think fit, when the said opinion has been obtained before trial, order such
opinion to be submitted to the jury with the other facts of the case as
evidence, or conclusive evidence, as the court may think fit, of the foreign
law therein stated; and the said opinion shall be so submitted to the jury.
