British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mandra v. Lu, 2014 BCSC 2199 (CanLII):
The plaintiff is not required to prove that the defendant’s negligence was the sole cause of the injury. If other potential causes exist, the plaintiff will still successfully establish cause in fact if he can prove a substantial connection between the injury and the defendant’s conduct, beyond the de minimus level: Farrant v. Laktin, 2011 BCCA 336, at para. 11.
