Rethinking the requirement for a ‘recognisable psychiatric illness' in the law of negligence
- Abstract:
- Canadian Supreme Court decision in Saadati v Moorhead – removal of requirement that the claimant prove a "recognisable psychiatric illness" in a case of negligently inflicted psychiatric injury – law in Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand – argument that rather than removing the "recognisable psychiatric illness" requirement, the interpretation and application of the requirement should be clarified - a "recognisable psychiatric illness" should not be limited to mental disorders that are recognised in classificatory schemes.
