Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] There is a causal link between the doctor's failure to adopt measures to slow down or block the course of the disease and the patient's death, when it is ascertained, according to the principle of counter-actuality, conducted on the basis of a general rule of experience or of a scientific, universal or statistical law, that due conduct would have had a positive impact on the survival of the patient, in the sense that the event would not have occurred or would have occurred later or with improved modalities, even in terms of of the intensity of painful symptomology
