Description

The Damages (Scotland) 1976 Act provides that, where a person dies as a result of personal injuries caused by another person's delictual conduct, the deceased's family may be entitled to claim damages, under patrimonial loss (loss of financial support); and non-patrimonial loss (grief, distress, sorrow and other intangible losses). This report by the Scottish Law Commission examines the provisions of the Act regarding which relatives are entitled to claim damages for non-patrimonial loss, given the changes in contemporary family structures and a number of court cases which have highlighted the potentially unjust decisions regarding entitlement to damages. The report recommends the retention of the inherent structure of the 1976 Act, based on the concept of the deceased's immediate family. This should consist of those relatives who are likely to have had a close tie of love and affection with the deceased in the context of contemporary family structures, and appropriate weight should be given to relationships which can arise between persons who have lived and/or been brought up in the same household. This would include same-sex partners, as well as brothers and sisters of the deceased. The report also contains a draft version of a Scottish Bill to implement the recommendations for reform.
