Bailey (by her father and litigation friend) v Ministry of Defence and another [2008] EWCA Civ 883

“Where medical science could not establish the probability that ‘but for’ an act of negligence an injury would not have happened, but could establish that the contribution of the negligent cause was more than negligible, the ‘but for’ test was modified and the claimant would succeed.”
