English translation of the principle

Determination of fault giving rise to liability and the causal relationship between fault and damage is within the independent authority of the court of merits. The condition thereof. That it state reasonable grounds leading to its conclusion. An example of a judgment defective for inadequate reasoning and unsound inference because it did not scrutinize the appellant's defence that the cause of the accident was the death of the car's [defective word: قاء] while driving it.
