	Cause of action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In the law, a cause of action is a recognized kind of legal claim that a plaintiff pleads or alleges in a complaint to start a lawsuit.
		"Cause of action" encompasses both the legal theory of what legal wrong the plaintiff claims to have suffered, and the remedy, which is what a court is allowed to order the defendant to do to compensate the plaintiff for that wrong.
		For the cause of action of negligence, for example, the elements are (existence of a) duty, breach (of that duty), causation (by that breach), and damages (incurred by the plaintiff).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cause
		Cause, as the correlative of effect, is understood as being that which in any way gives existence to, or contributes towards the existence of, any thing; which produces a result; to which the origin of any thing is to be ascribed.
		With certain important modifications concerning the eternity of the material cause, the substantiality of certain formal causes of material entities, and the determination of the final cause, the fourfold division was handed on to the Christian teachers of patristic and scholastic times.
		It is shown that, in no one of the four classes into which causes are differentiated is an infinite progression possible; and, upon the doctrine advanced as to causality in general, and the four classes of causes in particular, are based arguments demonstrating rationally the existence of God.

		A cause of action on the ground of fraud is not deemed to have accrued until the discovery of the fraud.
		If a cause of action accrues against a person when he is out of the state, or has absconded or concealed himself, the period limited for the commencement of the action does not begin to run until he comes into the state or while he is so absconded or concealed.
		If after the cause of action accrues he departs from the state or absconds or conceals himself, the time of his absence or concealment is not computed as a part of the period within which the action shall be brought.

		Because we conclude that the eighth count stated a cause of action for intentional spoliation of evidence, significantly prejudicing the Smiths' opportunity to obtain damages for their injuries, the alternative writ is to be discharged and the trial court directed to overrule the demurrer.
		The seventh and ninth causes of action for breach of contract/promissory estoppel and negligence respectively were also concerned with the loss of the physical evidence.
		Abbott Ford contends that a cause of action for an intentional tort of spoliation of evidence is precluded under California statutory and case law, because a penal statute has in effect preempted the field.

	COURT ALLOWS BATTERED WOMEN
		1189 (1979), this case is novel because the court has allowed (1) a "cumulative" cause of action (referring to it as one continuous cause of action) and (2) a cause of action based on what, until now, was used as a defense in a criminal case.
		Breax, 515So.2d 480, to support his decision to recognize battered women's syndrome as a cause of action, the judge rejected that case's decision that the complainant had to sue on each individual incident of abuse and not on a continuing tort.
		Although he recognized this, Judge Napolitano allowed this new cause of action to stand despite the motion to have the action dismissed for failure to state a claim for relief, starting that the New Jersey Supreme has expressly held that trial courts must accord any plaintiff's complaint a "meticulous" and "indulgent" examination.

		By way of background, when a debtor files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, any cause of action he has against any third person becomes property of the bankrupt estate and, absent an abandonment, may only be prosecuted by the trustee in bankruptcy.
		The court specifically found that plaintiff, in bad faith, had failed to disclose his personal injury cause of action in the bankruptcy case with the intent of concealing this asset from the reach of his creditors.
		Because plaintiff had stated under oath in the prior action that he did not have any cause of action for a contingent or unliquidated claim against any third person, he could not now take the position that he had a viable cause of action against the defendants.
