Book excerpt: "Provides guidance to the complexities of establishing liability, as well as assistance on running psychiatric claims. Such cases are technically challenging with regard to establishing liability and causation. The authors seek to provide an essential route map through the 'patchwork quilt' of the current law. This edition deals with the development of law and practice since the first edition, in particular: 1. Anticipating the implications of the litigation surrounding the Grenfell Tower disaster - revisiting primary and secondary victim categories and how the legal framework established following the Hillsborough disaster will be tested in a different social media age. 2. Include a discussion of the change in attitude towards mental health since 2012 (for example the Royal Family campaign, NHS initiatives, young male suicide rate campaign), a change with which the law has not kept pace. 3. Discussion of Marsh v Ministry of Justice [2017] EWHC 1040 (QB) - David Marshall of Anthony Gold being the instructed solicitor in this case and this being the only reported successful high court case since the publication of the first edition. Yapp -v- Foreign and Commonwealth Office [2014] EWCA Civ 1512 to be distinguished and discussed. 4. Developments in secondary victim claims, in particular what constitutes a shocking event - Re (a Minor) and Others -v- Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust [2017] EWHC 824 in which childbirth constituted a shocking event. To be discussed in the context of what is deemed to fall short of 'shocking' ( Liverpool Women's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust -v- Ronayne [2015] EWCA Civ 588 - in which a husband failed as a secondary victim where the operation was a hysterectomy rather than childbirth). Paul & Others -v- Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust [2019] EWHC 2893 (QB) regarding proximity to the negligent act. YAH -v- Medway NHS Foundation Trust [2018] EWHC 2964 (QB) regarding whether the victim is truly a secondary victim or if they are really a primary victim. 5. Update on material contribution - BAE System (Operations) Ltd -v- Marion Konczak [2017] EWCA Civ 1188 6. Update on any changes to the classification of psychiatric injury and how these are litigated, for eg HHJ Gore QC in Liverpool Women's hospital case rejecting diagnosis of PTSD but finding 'a frank psychiatric illness'."--

Book Synopsis Claims of Psychiatric Injury After Alleged False Arrest by : IN. Perr
Download or read book Claims of Psychiatric Injury After Alleged False Arrest written by IN. Perr and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Litigation has increased rapidly in the United States; those who feel aggrieved sue readily for damages. Police officers and security people may be sued after arrests or detention followed by unsuccessful prosecution or dropping of criminal charges. Claims of psychiatric injury may be made where there are no discernible damages otherwise. Examiners must keep in mind that physical abuse or grossly inappropriate police behavior may be factors in the ultimate results. This paper reviews 13 cases of claimed psychiatric injury after arrest. Almost all were settled, some for significant amounts. Appropriateness of evaluation, the value of nuisance suits in this type of litigation, the role of attorneys' fees, and the effect of Federal suits as opposed to state suits are discussed.
Book Synopsis Causing Psychiatric and Emotional Harm by : Harvey Teff
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have seen major developments in the law regarding personal injury claims which relate to psychiatric injury. A number of significant cases have recently brought the issues of compensation for psychiatric injury into sharper focus. This book surveys the current state of the law, including an analysis of the "Alcock" case, and an examination of the ways in which a successful claim may be made. It also includes an overview of the major psychiatric conditions which may result from trauma, with particular emphasis on post-traumatic stress disorder.;The authors give practical advice on how to identify a potential psychiatric injury case, practical and procedural steps, and a survey of quantum of damages for traumatically induced injury. Some consideration is given to wider aspects of such claims, for example, incontract. This book is aimed primarily at legal practitioners who are likely to be increasingly confronted with such claims.
