Causation in Claims for Mental Harm - Analysing the Counterfactual Hypothesis

In this episode, Campbell Hangay explores the causational concept of counterfactual hypothesis in personal injury law and how it has been applied in recent matters, including in the context of mental harm. An explanation of causation is followed by a deep-dive into cases using a counterfactual hypothesis, and the importance of expert evidence in establishing a counter factual claim in mental injury cases.
