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.

The law relating to claims for psychiatric injury is complex, varied, and hard to grapple with and can often appear labyrinthian. This is a practical guide for dealing with personal injury claims involving psychiatric injuries and is aimed to assist both the newcomer and the experienced practitioner alike. As our understanding and acceptance of the nature of psychiatric injury has grown over the last two decades, so has the regularity of such claims appearing in practice as well as the varied ways in which they arise, be it a straightforward psychiatric reaction to injury or a complex stress at work claim. This work breaks the topic down into practical and easily assimilable components to assist practitioners and supplement their knowledge through a combination of detailed discussion of the law, coupled with practical suggestions for practise. This Second Edition is updated and expanded particularly in the areas stress at work and the latest developments in secondary victim claims.

The past decade has seen major developments in the law regarding personal injury claims which relate to psychiatric injury. The law is complex and in many respects illogical, and claims for damages for psychiatric conditions can be difficult to pursue. Now in its second edition, and substantially rewritten, Napier and Wheat's Recovering Damages for Psychiatric Injury reviews the legal context in which such claims must be framed. The book concentrates on claims made in negligence and employers' liability, but also examines claims made in contract and in intentional torts. Claims are divided up into the so-called 'shock' cases and non-shock cases, and the author has also included a new chapter on employers' liability with particular focus on 'stress' claims. Two chapters are devoted to the medical aspects of psychiatric injury claims, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The book contains analyses of the main cases which have shaped the present state of the law and examines some options for reform. The author gives practical advice on how to identify a potential psychiatric injury case, quantum of damages, and procedural steps. This second edition also includes an outline of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. Aimed primarily at legal practitioners, the book will also be of interest to students and members of the medical profession.

Liability for psychiatric damage is a rapidly expanding area of legal interest. Written by experts in the field, this text describes and analyses the present law and practice on the recovery of compensation for mental harm in English law. It also includes comparative analysis of the approaches taken by other jurisdictions. It presents an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the law in terms of the medical profession's understanding of how psychiatric injury occurs. Lawyers need to understand not only the legal rules and practice and the general direction in which the courts are going, but also the policy issues (some of which are rooted in medicine rather than law) which influence the changes. In its thorough analysis of the topic, possible future developments and proposals for new approaches to the area are considered alongside human rights aspects.

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.
