Sine Qua Non





EXAMPLE

Mr. Perkins left his car but kept the key in the ignition. Ino, 6-years-old, started the car and backed it over Aidan.

According to lawyer Richard Russell - without Mr. Perkins's careless act, Ino would not be driving the car. Therefore, Mr. Perkins's act was the ''conditio sine qua non'' of Aidan's injury.

Sine qua non is also used in economics.
