Given two Lorentzian metrics \(g,\overline g\) on \(M\), the author says \(\overline g>g\) if \(g(v,v)<0\) implies \(\overline g(v,v)<0\) for all vectors \(v\). She or he calls a spacetime almost causal if for all \(x\in M\) the condition \[ \bigcap_{\overline g>g}J^+(x,\overline g) \subset\bigl\{ y\in M\mid I^+ (y)\subset I^+ (z)\quad \forall z\in I^- (x)\bigr\} \] holds, where the causal future of \(x\) with respect to \(\overline g\) is denoted by \(J^+ (x,\overline g)\). The main result is that for almost causal spacetimes stable causality is equivalent to a causality principle of \textit{N. Woodhouse} [J. Math. Phys. 14, 495-501 (1973; Zbl 0269.53026)].
