Practice question · True or false
A result that materialises a risk different from the one the conduct created is not objectively imputable to that conduct.
Hints
- Ask what the second requirement of objective imputation demands.
- The risk created and the risk realised must be the same risk.
Show the answer
True
Why
True, and it is the second of the two core requirements. Creating a disapproved risk is not enough; that very risk must be the one that produced the result. This is the requirement that resolves the hospital-fire case, the case of the victim who dies in the ambulance crash, and the whole family of atypical causal courses.
