Reconsidering the "Recognizable Psychiatric Illness" Requirement in Canadian Negligence Law.
- Authors
Bélanger-Hardy, Louise
- Abstract
The article discusses the recognizable psychiatric illness requirement in Canada's negligence law as of April 2013, focusing on compensable mental harm and the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling in the case Mustapha v. Culligan of Canada Ltd. The remoteness of harm is addressed in the Mustapha case, along with manifestations of physical symptoms such as a miscarriage or a heart attack. The fourth edition of the book "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM-IV-TR" is examined.
