Galli-Atkinson v Seghal [2003] EWCA Civ 697

Facts:

  • A mother came upon the scene where her daughter had been hit by a dangerous driver and was told that her daughter was dead.
  • Part of the shock she suffered was due to this experience and the other part was caused when she saw her daughter’s body in the mortuary some two hours later.

Ratio:
  • In this case, the aftermath extended from the moment of the accident until the moment the mother left the mortuary.
