R v Holland

R v Holland

R v Holland (1841) 2 Mood. & R. 351 is an English criminal law case dealing with Novus actus interviens, and the chain of causation.

The victim refused medical treatment for a gangrene-infected wound, that had been inflicted by the defendant, and died. It is likely the victim would have survived had he received treatment.

The court used the 'but for' test; 'but for the initial injury, would the victim have died?' Even though he would have not died, and the victim broke the chain of causation, it was because the defendant had started the chain that he was convicted of murder.
