What is the law on rescuers in tort? Can rescuers get damages for pure psychiatric harm?

Описание: This video involves discussion of the law relating rescuers and pure psychiatric harm in English tort law. There is close examination of the cases McFarlane v EE Caledonia [1994], Chadwick v British Railway Boards [1967] and White v Chief Constable of South Yorkshire [1999].

In the video, I also answer the following 4 questions:
1.Who is a rescuer?
2.Is a rescuer a primary victim or a secondary victim?
3.Can a rescuer recover damages for pure psychiatric harm?
4.Did White v Chief Constable of South Yorkshire [1999] overrule Chadwick v British Railways Board [1967]?
