What is the test for inferring causation in a motor vehicle accident?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jackson v. Kelowna General Hospital, 2007 BCCA 129 (CanLII):
The issue on appeal is whether the trial judge erred in failing to infer causation, in accordance with Snell v. Farrell, 1990 CanLII 70 (SCC), [1990] 2 S.C.R. 311. The appellant argues that the trial judge erred in law in her application of the test set out in Snell, as a result of factual errors arising from a misapprehension of the evidence.
