It should be noted that the phrase "contributory negligence" was nowhere mentioned by the court, but this case is, nevertheless, thought to be the origin of the "stalemate rule".... The theory, according to Viscount Simon was that "where a man is part author of his own injury, he cannot call on the other party to compensate him in full".  2, record 1, English, - stalemate%20rule

Il convient de signaler que le tribunal n'a jamais employé les mots «négligence de la victime» («contributory negligence») mais on estime néanmoins que la «règle du pat» («stalemate rule») a son origine dans cette affaire. [...] Selon cette conception, au dire du vicomte Simon, «lorsqu'un homme a contribué en partie à ses propres blessures, il ne peut pas demander à l'autre partie de le dédommager complètement».  2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A8gle%20du%20pat

The spurious causal theory of "last opportunity"... must be distinguished from genuine lack of causality. Thus the plaintiff's own negligence would not prejudice him at all, any more than it would a defendant, unless it was causally relevant to his injury in the sense that but for his failure to take reasonable care for his own safety he would not have been hurt.  1, record 2, English, - lack%20of%20causality
