Scientific circles abroad hold wide discussions on whether the concept of causal nexus should not be abandoned in some cases. Proof of causation is extremely complex especially in medical malpractice cases. We know the input, we know the output, but what is happening in the organism remains to be a „black box“. This article will try to focus on the current judicial practice in the Czech Republic, its shortcomings and it will also refer to legislative shortcomings. An attempt will be made to outline this with regard to the Principles of the European Tort Law (PETL).
