A quick definition of causa sine qua non:

Term: CAUSA SINE QUA NON

Definition: Causa sine qua non means the necessary cause without which an event or thing cannot happen. It is a term used in law to determine the cause of an action or event. For example, if a person's negligence is the cause of an accident, then it is the causa sine qua non of the accident. In Roman and civil law, causa is also used to mean consideration or inducement, which is the reason for entering into a contract or agreement.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Causa sine qua non is a Latin term that means "necessary cause." It refers to the cause without which the thing cannot be or the event would not have occurred.

Example: If a person is hit by a car and dies, the cause of death is the impact of the car. However, if the person would not have died if they had been wearing a seatbelt, then the seatbelt is the causa sine qua non of the person's death.

This example illustrates that the seatbelt is the necessary cause of the person's death. Without the seatbelt, the person would not have died from the impact of the car. Therefore, the seatbelt is the causa sine qua non of the person's death.
