CAUSATION
(Concurrent Causes)
A person is criminally liable for a result if the result would not have occurred but for
his/her conduct even where another cause occurred at the same time. The only exception
is where the other cause produced the result by itself and the conduct of the defendant
was insufficient to cause the result.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
