Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the gas company’s conduct broke the adequate causal link to the explosion
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The later construction mistakes were not so extraordinary as to fully eclipse the gas company’s prior dangerous state of affairs.
Extrahierte Begründung
The high threshold for interrupting adequate causation was not met; errors in construction work are conceivable in old buildings, and the gas installation should have been safer and more accessible.
