The principle of novus actus interveniens refers to the occurrence of a new and intervening act that breaks the chain of causation between the defendant's original wrongful act and the plaintiff's harm.

If a new and independent act occurs that was not foreseeable by the defendant, it may be considered a novus actus interveniens, and the defendant may be relieved of liability.
