Finally, as illustrated in Greatorex v Greatorex [2000] 1 WLR 1790, a secondary victim will not be able to claim if the actual victim for whose safety they feared, is actually the defendant in the case. In Greatorex the defendant injured himself in a road accident due to his own negligence. It was held that he did not owe a duty of care to the claimant fire officer (his father) who arrived at the scene and subsequently suffered psychiatric damage on seeing the injuries to his son.
