not be liable to the plaintiff. Why not? Was there a problem in determining that they caused
her damage (what sort of causation, if so)? Articulate the majority's reasoning from the
perspective of the Instrumentalist and from the perspective of the Corrective Justice
theorist. Which, if any, do you find more persuasive? Why?
