cause in law
お助け下さい。
下記の文章にて"cause in law"の訳がわかりません。教えて下さい。
Before allowing the confusion to reach new heights, I want to mention briefly how law treats the issue of cause. Traditionally there are five kinds of cause in law: proximate, remote, but-for, intervening and supervening.
補足
’Causeを会話体以外に使うとおかしいのですか?
