Practice question
A negligent failure to provide required safety barriers sets a foreseeable sequence in motion that later injures a participant. No independent efficient cause breaks the chain. Is the failure automatically remote solely because it occurred hours earlier?
- Yes, every earlier omission is remote
- Yes, only the last second matters
- Only the participant’s age matters
- No, the earlier omission can remain proximate through the stipulated foreseeable continuous chain
- Yes, if another person acted afterward
