This article deals with an important topic in the law of civil responsibility; i.e. the participation of force majeure with the defendant’s fault in the arising of damages. It falls under the general heading of the plurality of causes in arising of damages. In such cases, the important question is the nature of the responsibility of each cause. In answering the question, two theories are set forth: integral responsibility and partial responsibility. According to the first, each cause is bound to compensate the damages in full. According to the second, each of them must only compensate part of the damages. The authors are of the view that the theory of partial causality fits Iranian legal principles.
