The recording of this webinar is now available on demand.
This was a webinar live streamed from Wadham College Oxford on 26 April, 2023. It featured Wadham's own Professor Sandy Steel alongside John de Bono KC, Charles Feeny and an invited audience. The webinar discussed material contribution to damage as proof of causation in tort through a historical perspective, tracing its development to the present day. Issues considered included the distinction between divisible and indivisible injury, the controversy as to whether the concept is an exception to ‘but for’ causation, and whether in the circumstances apportionment of damages would be appropriate.
