CONT

Chief Justice Culliton, after observing rather enigmatically that "nervous shock ... is a substantive tort", concluded that the plaintiff did "not prove that the shock which she experienced ... was one which the defendant ... ought, as a reasonable person, to have foreseen as a result of her conduct". This principle of non-liability has been invariably followed since.
