Steel on Material Contribution to Damage

Sandy Steel has posted to SSRN Material Contribution to Damage, Again.  The abstract provides:

This case note considers recent statements about the scope of the doctrine of ‘material contribution to damage’ in the tort of negligence. It argues that such a rule continues to exist, as a matter of authority, in single tortfeasor cases, but that the authorities are not entirely reconcilable with each other. It explains five matters that need to be addressed in a reform of this area.
