When can a man be said legally to have caused damage by his negligence: and how does the legal conception relate to the commonsense conception of causation? The occasion of this discussion is a work Published in 1959 by Professor H. L. A. Hart and Mr. Honore on Causation in the Law, together with a recent Privy Council decision concerning a fire in Sydney Harbour.
