Pecuniary loss
1. Pecuniary loss
a) Housekeeping: Daly v. General Steam Navigation 1980 - a mother couldn't do it as quickly before the accident. The money she received could also be spent otherwise.
b) Loss of earning capacity: Moeliker v. Reyroll 1977 - an employer could still work at his old job after the injury, but he argued he would have to switch someday.
c) Reduced Life expectancy: Pickett v. British Railways Engineering 1980 - one more year to live at 52.
2. Non-pecuniary loss recoverable and not recoverable:
a) Nervous shock: Brice v. Brown 1984 - mother suffered nervous shock in a taxi due to her imagination. Also, the 'egg shell skull rule' was developed here.
b) Doctor damaging baby upon birth - this cannot be recovered as non-pecuniary if you're not psychologically touched:
Kraly v. McGrath 1986 - twins delivered, one damaged.
c) Psychological damage due to pre-existing disease (M.E.): Page v. Smith 1995 - car accident; 'egg shell skull rule'.
