/bʌt fɔː ruːl/ – Phrase
Definition: quy tắc “giá như không”.
A more thorough explanation: The phrase “but for rule” is a legal doctrine used to determine causation in negligence cases. It essentially states that if an injury or loss would not have occurred but for the defendant’s negligence, then the defendant is considered the cause of that injury or loss.
Example: The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s actions were the cause of the injury, meaning that ‘but for’ the defendant’s negligence, the injury would not have occurred.
