- W2243356164 abstract "This article first appeared in Precedent, the journal of the Australian Lawyers Alliance, issue 115, focusing on civil liability legislation in Australia, published in April 2013 (Sydney, Australia, ISSN 449-7719), pp 4-9. It has been reproduced with the kind permission of the author and the ALA. Some years ago, the late Professor Fleming suggested that the rescuer, once the Cinderella of the law, had since become its darling. Fleming was referring primarily to the duty owed to rescuers who were physically injured in the course of a rescue attempt, but the statement could be applied with equal force to rescuers who suffered psychiatric injury as a result of their involvement at the scene of an accident: from the late 1960s onwards the law was ready to include rescuers alongside close family members as persons to whom a duty of care might be owed in such a situation. In recent years, however, there has been a major change. In England, at least, the ball is definitely over; in Australia, it seemed that the Civil Liability Acts, at least in New South Wales, might similarly have spoiled the party, but the High Court in Wicks v State Rail Authority of New South Wales overturned a rather restrictive Court of Appeal decision and suggested that in at least some circumstances traumatised rescuers might still be owed a duty of care. However, the decision in Wicks highlights the fact that in the area of mental harm, as with much else, the Civil Liability Acts have created considerable disuniformity within the Australian law of torts." @default.
