Can you talk about a 3rd element that falls under causation (cause in fact)?
1) but for
2) substantial cause
3) alternative cause

Question - in the last scenario, how would plaintiff be able to hold defendant liable if it doesn't pass the but for or substantial factor test?
If there is no causation there is no liability.
wow
You made this seem too easy

For pooping, silly.
(ps sorry for spoiling the tenor of this very informative video)
No worries, thanks for sharing.
The example is not proper, by lifting weights, properly performed under all circumstances, your back will become stronger and stronger.
Your criticism is improper, assuming that lifting weights is always properly performed under all circumstances (and that plaintiff could somehow prove that..)
if he hadn't taken the axe to the tree, the car would have been ok
