... the Court seeks by extension of the cause of action to remedy the perceived anomaly that a spouse has a cause of action for loss of spousal consortium while the child does not have a cause of action for loss of parental consortium.

A plaintiff in an action of negligence cannot recover damages for a "shock" however grievous, which was no more than an immediate emotional response to a distressing experience, sudden, severe, and saddening. It is, however, today a known medical fact that severe emotional distress can be the starting point of a lasting disorder of mind or body, some form of psycho-neurosis or a psychosomatic illness. For that ... damages may be had.  3, record 3, English, - nervous%20shock

La jurisprudence québécoise à plusieurs reprises s'est posé le problème de l'indemnisation du choc nerveux. Peut-on par exemple compenser un conjoint ou un parent pour le choc nerveux qu'il subit à la suite de la vue ou de l'annonce de l'accident subi par quelqu'un de sa famille? Les décisions à cet égard semblent partagées.  2, record 3, French, - choc%20nerveux

photo reflex action-humans are involuntarily visually attracted to areas of greatest brightness within the visual field. Studies have shown that attraction to large areas of low brightness can cause long periods of visual detraction, while small areas of high brightness produce a more rapid but nevertheless similarly visually attractive response which detracts from task. Because the visual mechanism responds much more slowly from high adaptation conditions than its converse, one should ensure that the potentially uncomfortable or distracting visual reflex effect actuated by sources of higher than ambient brightness, is accommodated.  1, record 5, English, - photo%20reflex%20action
