0 7 Leah was at home when a neighbour telephoned her. The neighbour reported that
Leah’s brother, Milo, had just been knocked off his bicycle by a bus and had been taken
to hospital. This news caused Leah to suffer a serious psychiatric injury. Leah did not
visit Milo in hospital. The bus driver admitted that he was negligent in causing the
accident.
In these circumstances, suggest why any claim made by Leah in respect of her psychiatric
injury would be unlikely to succeed in court.

0 8 Nick had savings of £100 000 which he wanted to invest. Nick received through his
letterbox a newsletter written by Ona, a local councillor. The newsletter updated
residents on the progress of a new solar energy project just outside the town. In the
newsletter, Ona explained that she was sure the solar energy project would be very
profitable and she gave details as to how people could invest in the project. As a result
of reading this, Nick invested his savings in the project. Later, residents found out that
Ona had misunderstood the project and had failed to identify several serious defects.
The project collapsed and Nick lost all his savings.
Taking into account the rules on negligent misstatement, advise Nick of his rights against
Ona.
