It provides specialised consideration of negligence liability for what the Civil Liability Acts now refer to as mental harm, also described as ‘psychiatric damage’ or ‘nervous shock’. It draws widely on the case law and refers in detail to the legislation across Australia to address key issues such as the kinds of mental harm for which a claim will lie, who may claim and in what circumstances.
