British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Van Mol (Guardian of) v. Ashmore, 1996 CanLII 1965 (BC SC):
132 Given my findings in respect of negligence and informed consent, it is unnecessary to consider causation. However, if I am wrong in respect of those issues, it is clear that, if those issues were proven, then causation was also proven under the test in Farrell v. Snell, 1990 CanLII 70 (SCC), [1990] 2 S.C.R. 311. CONCLUSION
