| Sumario: | The article discusses the case of Wright vs. Paton Farrell, which was about the test for causation of loss. It states that though the causation issue appears to have been determined on a case-specific pleading point, the question that arises is whether a claimant who sues his trial advocate ever establish causation on the basis that an error made can undermine the client's credibility in the eyes of the arbiter. The case concludes by suggesting that Scotland law should abolish immunity. |
