ProZ Team,

I am working on a Risk Management document and I want to make sure I have this term straight.

The definition, as it appears in the document:
Ein Schaden beruht dann kausal auf bestimmten Umständen, wenn diese nicht hinweggedacht werden können, ohne das zugleich auch der Schaden entfiele.

My rough translation:
Damage is causally based on certain circumstances only if these cannot be assumed away without at the same time omitting the damage also.

Very rough, I know. Any help would be much appreciated.

Schoensten Dank!

Nicholas Krivenko Apr 28, 2008:
My pleasure. I think these headings are quite straightforward based on the definition you have so helpfully provided. Google them with "risk" attached.
treychic (asker) Apr 28, 2008:
it is the heading. thanks for the help so far.
Nicholas Krivenko Apr 28, 2008:
I assumed this was the heading.
Darin Fitzpatrick Apr 28, 2008:
Are you sure this is the term you want to ask about? It does not appear in your text.
Nicholas Krivenko Apr 28, 2008:
I agree with Efreitag. "Damage is then causally based... when...".
Erik Freitag Apr 28, 2008:
Zumindest "only" scheint mir auf jeden Fall falsch, denn das steht nicht im Original (das hieße "beruht nur dann kausal...").

But-for test

cf. Adäquanz> proximate or non-remote causation test.

Better late than never.

Example sentence:

In most cases a simple application of the \\\'but for\\\' test will resolve the question of causation in tort law.www.e-lawresources.co.uk/Causation.php‎
