(a) damages should be fully paid in respect 00 injuries that were caused immediately and exclusively by the wrongful acts and (b) damages must be fully paid in respect of injuriee for which the wrongful act was the exclusive cause even though they might be linked to that act not by an immediate relationship ’ but by a series of events each exclusively linked with the other by a cause and effect relationship. 372.
