In a personal injury action, in what circumstances will the jury be instructed to continue to consider the issue of causation?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Cheung v. Samra, 2018 ONSC 3480 (CanLII):

Rather, I agree with the comments of Eberhard J. in Salter v. Hirst where she noted, at para. 7: I further ruled that sending the issue back to the jury for further detail may be perceived by them as a direction to decide the matter differently. If instruction were given repeating my charge on causation, or emphasizing particular clauses, it would likely taint their discussion such that their further answer would be of little practical assistance in the question now before me and before any reviewing reader.
