    Författare :Mårten Schultz; Jan Kleineman; Bjarte Askeland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Adekvat kausalitet; betingelseläran; kausalitet; korrektiv rättvisa; NESS; orsakssamband; skadeståndsrätt; underlåtenhet; Tort law; Skadeståndsrätt; Private Law; civilrätt;

    Sammanfattning : Orsakskravet är skadeståndsansvarets mest grundläggande kriterium men också det minst analyserade. Innebörden av kravet har inte specificerats, i vart fall inte tydligt, av vare sig lagstiftaren eller domstolarna. Det har inte heller funnits någon samsyn kring kravets innebörd i svensk rättsvetenskap under senare tid. LÄS MER
