Causation In Law

▪ The relationship of cause and effect

▪ The basic rules of causation include:

The breach of contract must be an effective or dominant cause of the

damage which stemmed from the breach of the legal duty.

It isn't necessary to show that a breach was the sole cause of the

damage, so long as it was an effective cause of the damage alleged.
