Remote
(gcide) | Remote \Re*mote"\ (r?-m?t"), a. [Compar. Remoter (-?r);

remove. See Remove.]
1. Removed to a distance; not near; far away; distant; --
said in respect to time or to place; as, remote ages;
remote lands.

(a) Not agreeing; alien; foreign. "All these propositions,
how remote soever from reason." --Locke.
(b) Not nearly related; not close; as, a remote connection
or consanguinity.
(c) Separate; abstracted. "Wherever the mind places itself
by any thought, either amongst, or remote from, all

REMOTE
(bouvier) | REMOTE. At a distance; afar off, not immediate. A remote cause is not in
general sufficient to charge a man with the commission of a crime, nor with
being the author of a tort.
2. When a man suffers an injury in consequence of the violation of a
contract, he is in general entitled to damages for the violation of such
contract, but not for remote consequences, unconnected with the contract, to
which he may be subjected; as, for example, if the maker of a promissory
note should not pay it at maturity; the holder will be entitled to damages
arising from the breach of the contract, namely, the principal and interest;
but should the holder, in consequence of the non-payment of such note, be
compelled to stop payment, and lose his credit and his business, the maker
will not be responsible for such losses, on account of the great remoteness
of the cause; so if an agent who is bound to account should neglect to do
so, and a similar failure should take place, the agent would not be
responsible for the damages thus caused. 1 Brock. Cir. C. R. 103; see 3 Pet.
