Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the but-for test, which is used in tort law to establish the existence of a causal link between the actions of the defendant and the damage suffered by the plaintiff. The author scrutinizes the conceptual analytical suitability of the test by applying the methods of formal logic. The author substantiates the opinion that the but-for test is an effective analytical technique that adequately determines causality in the vast majority of cases.
