unusual facts about Bourhill v Young



Attia v British Gas plc

Insistence that psychiatric damage must be reasonably foreseeable, coupled with clear recognition that a plaintiff must prove psychiatric damage as I have defined it, and not merely grief, sorrow or emotional distress, will in my view enable the good sense of the judge to ensure, adopting Lord Wright's language in Bourhill v Young 1943 AC 92, 110, that the thing stops at the appropriate point.
