In the law of tort, the notion that one's liability is limited to results proximately caused by his conduct or omission.
Note :
A party causing a tort is liable only if some harmful consequence of the kind which happened should have been foreseen as liable to result, and he is liable only for the reasonably foreseeable, or possibly for the direct, consequences of his wrongful conduct, not necessarily for all that has actually followed.
