Publicación Análisis de la Sentencia Sjc-12921 : Doull V. Foster del Tribunal Judicial Supremo de Massachusetts. Abandono del precedente : cambio del estándar alternativo de factor contribuyente sustancial al estándar tradicional de causalidad contrafáctica(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Molina González, María Adelaida; Baena Aramburo, FelisaThis paper analyzes the Doull v. Foster judgment of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, highlighting the legal and academic importance of the decision to abandon decades of judicial practice in which causation was analyzed under the “alternative substantial contributing factor standard”, and instead, to adopt the traditional counterfactual causation standard. This decision is motivated by the constant search for objectivity, precision, and justice in relation to the determination of causality. The judgment not only transforms legal practice in the state of Massachusetts but also contributes to the academic debate on how to address causality in tort law, adopting a model that could influence the evolution of law in other jurisdictions.
