Comme on le sait, la jurisprudence respecte le critère du caractère direct du dommage édicté par le législateur. Le problème de déterminer ce que constitue un dommage «direct» est complexe et, là encore, il serait présomptueux de vouloir généraliser. Toutefois, une tendance se dégage. Les tribunaux ne reconnaissent pas le préjudice qui puise sa source immédiate non dans la faute elle-même, mais dans un autre préjudice déjà causé par la faute. En d'autres termes, est indirect le dommage issu du dommage, le dommage par ricochet, le dommage au «second degré». 1, record 1, French, - dommage%20par%20ricochet
