Abstract
The article examines the moral basis and significance of causation from the standpoint of corrective justice; the division of factual and legal causation, as well as the theory of conditio sine qua non and NESS test, are critically analyzed; the problems of the former are discussed, while the preference of the latter is justified, with special attention to the torts committed by omission; the relation of factual causation as a matter of substantive law to the procedural form of its reflection is established through the discussion of issues of allocation of burden of proof and standards of proof, as well as admissibility of scientific and statistical evidence of factual causation.
