British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kuras v. Repo, 2014 BCSC 1634 (CanLII):
Causation is generally assessed according to the “but for” test: Athey v. Leonati, 1996 CanLII 183 (SCC), [1996] 3 S.C.R. 458. Applying that test, the court asks whether, but for -- or without -- the defendant’s negligence, the plaintiff would have suffered the injury.
