R v Harbottle, [1993] 3 SCR 306 is a Canadian criminal law case decided by the Supreme Court of Canada on the standard of causation required in order for an accused to be convicted of first degree murder under section 231(5) (where the murder is subsequent to a predicate offence) of the Criminal Code. The Court held that the standard for this provision must be strict requiring a "substantial and integral cause". On the facts, the Court found that Harbottle's conduct in holding the victim's legs while she was strangled to death was sufficient to be a substantial and integral cause. This standard does not apply to all first degree murder, where the standard articulated in R v Nette applies.

| - R. c. Harbottle est un arrêt de principe de la Cour suprême du Canada rendu en 1993 sur la norme de causalité en droit pénal canadien pour qu'un accusé soit déclaré coupable de meurtre au premier degré en vertu de l'article 231 (5) du Code criminel, lorsque le meurtre est consécutif à une infraction pénale sous-jacente. La Cour a jugé que la norme pour cette disposition doit être stricte et exige une « cause substantielle et intégrale ». D'après les faits, la Cour a conclu que la conduite de Harbottle en tenant les jambes de la victime alors qu'elle était étranglée à mort était suffisante pour être une cause substantielle et intégrale. Cette norme de causalité ne s'applique pas à tous les meurtres au premier degré, où il s'agit de la norme énoncée dans R. c. Nette qui s'applique. (fr)
