New Intervening Act. ‘Novus Actus Interveniens’ is a Latin legal maxim that stands for ‘new intervening act’. Novus Actus Interveniens is “an independent event which, after the wrongdoer’s act has been concluded either caused or contributed to the consequence concerned”. Thus, an intervening act leads to a breakage in the cause-effect relation of the act that harmed the plaintiff. It is used as a defence by defendant to negate or reduce his liability.
