Cause of Action
 Action means suit & ‘cause of action’ means literally the cause or set
of circumstances which leads up to a suit.
 A ‘cause of action’ arises when a legal right is infringed
 Bundle of facts which give rise to a right or liability.
 Bundle of facts, whose proof is a sine qua non for ultimate success
in the suit. (Sonic surgical v National Insurance)
 Lord Brett: (Coke v Gill 1873): ‘cause of action’ means every fact
which it would be necessary for the plaintiff to prove, if traversed, in
order to support his right to the judgment of the Court.
 Every plaint must disclose a cause of action.
