Abstrakt: In the legal setting, "cause" is composed of at least two distinct components, of which only one is related to "causality" as scientists understand it. I argue that the alleged separation of the social issue of "scope of responsibility" from the objective question of scientific causality is illusory. "Scientific causality" also plays an essential social role in the legal setting.
