Hay v Young
Hay v Young was a case heard by the British House of Lords in 1943 relating nervous shock, where a woman pregnant at the time of the incident sued for compensation after seeing blood after a motorcycle accident. The ruling was that whilst the damage was too severe to be recovered therefrom; she was not within geographical or physical distance of danger and thus that her injury was not foreseeable.[1]
