Scott v Shepherd ( 1773)

o A larrikin tossed a lit firework into a market. It was quickly thrown away to another person and another, and it ended by exploding in the plaintiff’s face.


o Injury arose from the force of the original act
o Each of the other players were a continuance of this original act
---> Acting under compulsive necessity. They were not free agents, not voluntary.

Question of facts and circumstances

Need to ask: what constitute a direct act?
