Abstract: It is shown that if the universal cover of a manifold $M$ is an open manifold, then two different fibres of the spherical cotangent bundle $S{T}^{*}M$ cannot be connected by a non-negative Legendrian isotopy. This result is applied to the study of causality in globally hyperbolic spacetimes. It is also used to strengthen a result of Eliashberg, Kim, and Polterovich on the existence of a partial order on $widetilde{mathrmCont}_0(S{T}^{*}M)$.
