Page v Smith (1996) clarified that foreseeability of some harm is sufficient, and specific foreseeability of the exact type of injury (psychiatric or physical) is not necessary. This decision aligns with the principle that a defendant must take their victim as they find them: eggshell skull rule.
Duty of Care: The House of Lords held that once a duty of care to avoid causing personal injury is established, it covers both physical and psychiatric injuries, emphasising the broad scope of a duty of care.
