/ˈprɒksɪmət kɔːz/ – Phrase
Definition: nguyên nhân trực tiếp, nguyên nhân gần nhất.
A more thorough explanation: Proximate cause, in legal terms, refers to the primary cause of an injury or damage that is legally sufficient to result in liability. It is the cause that is most closely related to the resulting harm, without any intervening factors breaking the chain of causation.
Example: The plaintiff argued that the defendant’s negligence was the proximate cause of the car accident.
