Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from a consultation paper published in August 2002 (Discussion paper 120, ISBN 0108880699), this report examines the law in Scotland relating to psychiatric injury caused by another person. It considers the existing law and its defects, and makes recommendations for its reform. It concentrates on cases where the act or omission of the wrongdoer gives rise to mental harm without causing any physical or other injury to the victim. Such claims can arise where people are caught up in serious incidents where they are emerge physically unscathed or where close relatives are killed or injured, or in accidents on roads or due to work-related stress. Recommendations include replacement of the current system of common law rules by a statutory obligation to make reparation for wrongfully caused mental harm. The report includes the text of the proposed draft Bill as an appendix, together with explanatory notes.

Download or read book Causing Psychiatric and Emotional Harm written by Harvey Teff and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though mental harm can be profoundly disabling, the law imposes strict limits on who can recover damages for it. In the absence of physical injury, compensation is not normally available for negligently caused mental suffering, however severe, unless it constitutes a 'recognisable psychiatric illness'. Claimants whose mental trauma stems from injury caused to someone else are subject to arbitrary restrictive liability rules that dispense with established legal principles and cannot be reconciled with scientific advances. The book traces the history of civil liability for mental harm up to the present day. It is argued that the reluctance to provide redress reflects an enduring suspicion of intangible injury and undue fear of proliferating claims. The scale and legal ramifications of the Hillsborough disaster; the emergence of claims arising from work-related stress, and other new categories of claims based mainly on prior relationships between the parties, have all added to a 'floodgates fear' that has intensified due to popular perceptions of a 'compensation culture'. The book contrasts the limited scope for liability under English law with developments in several other jurisdictions. It is argued that statutory reform is needed to achieve greater legal coherence and to provide a remedy that tracks the impact and severity of harm and is not confined to psychiatric disorders. A new legal framework is offered, rooted in reasonable foreseeability of mental or emotional harm, with a liability threshold of 'moderate severity'. To allay concerns about proliferating claims, modifications to the compensatory regime for personal injury are proposed.

Download or read book Medical Negligence: Non-Patient and Third Party Claims written by Rachael Mulheron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare professionals face an increasing threat of litigation from parties whom they have never met in their daily medical practice and who look nothing like the traditional patient. The so-called ’non-patient’ may take many forms”for example, a person who is injured or killed by a mentally-ill, physically-disabled or diseased patient; a wrongfully-accused parent in a child neglect/abuse case; or a local authority which is put to the expense of caring for a negligently-treated patient. This book explores the legal principles and conundrums which arise when determining a healthcare professional’s liability in negligence towards a wide variety of non-patients. The topic is assuming increasing legal importance and relevance, given the potential for many non-patient claims to give rise to class actions litigation, and in light of the legislative and human rights interventions, and the frequent appellate judicial consideration, which non-patient claims have attracted in recent times. The aim of the book is to have utility for both legal and medical professionals; for academics and students of comparative medical negligence and tort law; and for law reformers who may be interested in adopting certain features of statutory models elsewhere which pertain to some non-patient claims, such as those based upon ’Good Samaritan’ conduct. Important parallels or counterpoints from other common law jurisdictions, in which courts and commentators have grappled with the legal complexities of non-patient claims, are also discussed and critically analyzed.
