Torts
The but-for test is a standard used in tort law to determine actual cause or cause-in-fact of a defendant's actions. It helps establish whether the injury or harm would have occurred 'but for' the defendant's conduct, meaning if the conduct had not happened, the harm would not have occurred. This test is crucial for establishing liability as it connects the defendant's actions directly to the plaintiff's injury.
