Keywords:
Tort Law, Ness Theory, Risk, Proximate cause, Adequate causalityAbstract
The article aims to demonstrate the difficulties inherent to causation in tort law. Through a historical review of the principle of causality, it is possible to understand its current role in the field of tort law and the paths that have been presented in Brazilian law. The scope of the study is to present a new approach to causation in terms of establishing liability and damages, which allows a new look at causal investigation. The article aims to make use of the contributions of the NESS theory and refute causation flexibility, which has brought judicial practice problems.
