(contr.) timely evidence; (tort) proof of proximate cause of an event
Timely evidence is not a category I can recall from Anglo-Irish law, but seems to exist in the US/Can.
Proximate cause, as qualified, is the first event which may trigger a chain of causation of an injury, but may not be the closes in time.
Proximate cause, as qualified, is the first event which may trigger a chain of causation of an injury, but may not be the closes in time.
Example sentence:
TIMELINESS Timely evidence is typically more persuasive than evidence produced after a delay.
in the law, a proximate cause is an event sufficiently related to a legally recognizable injury to be held the cause of that injury en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximate_cause
