Link Of Causality In The Turkish Penal Code
The definition of the causal link is not given in the TCC and there is no explicit regulation on this issue. However, in Article 23, which regulates “aggravated offense”: “In the event that an act causes a graver or different consequence than intended, the person must act with at least negligence with regard to this consequence in order to be held responsible for it”. The obligation of negligence here is introduced in order to eliminate the phenomenon of objective responsibility. However, it can be said that the legislator approaches the “theory of proximate cause” by seeking foreseeability of the outcome.
