What is the meaning of Novus Actus interveniens in tort
law?Solution
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. For the defendant to be held liable in tort, the harm must be a reasonably foreseeable consequence of their actions. 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.
