"R. v. Harbottle", is a leading Canadian case decided by the Supreme Court of Canada on the standard of causation required in order for an accused to be convicted of first degree murder under the Criminal Code of Canada. The Court held that the standard must be strict requiring a "substantial and integral cause". On the facts, the Court found that Harbottle's conduct in holding the victim's legs while she was strangled to death was sufficient to be a substantial and integral cause.
