Event Outline

The talk will discuss the meaning of ‘proximate’ under the MIA 1906 s 55(1) (which is not confined to marine insurance). Has the proximate cause rule has ever been the ‘last cause in time’ or its determination has always been a matter of construction of the way the loss has occurred and the policy terms? What distinguishes the 'but for' test and 'the proximate cause', and the separation between ‘concurrent independent' and 'concurrent interdependent causes’?
