Proximate cause

Loss causation is a fundamental concept in finance, referring to the direct cause of a financial loss. It occurs when there is a clear and unbroken chain of events linking an action to a resulting injury or loss. This means that for a loss to be considered causative, there must be a direct connection between the action taken and the eventual negative outcome. Understanding this concept is crucial in analyzing and managing financial risks.
