Common cause
Article Abstract:
A construction company seeking to make a claim for losses suffered as a result of a delayed project or poor workmanship must be able to prove a direct link between the party accused of causing the loss and the loss itself. In cases where there are very complicated circumstances, it is very difficult to prove to a court that there is a single cause of loss. The judge or arbitrator is obliged to apply common sense to determine whether any one of the circumstances presented can be held to be a direct cause of loss.
