Q What are the differences between proximate cause and causation in fact? Can you offer an example of a real or hypothetical case where factual cause exists, but proximate cause is lacking?
Actual cause is the original actions that have happened and proximate cause is the cause which is the legal cause behind the deeds that signifies the motives of the person who has committed the crime ("Actual and Proximate Cause Overview :: Justia", 2019). Proximate cause might not be always present and a person has to prove both of the causes in order to plead someone guilty.
