[1992] 1 AC 310. The claimants were all friends and relatives of victims of the Hillsborough football stadium disaster. Their claim against the police were for PsychiatricInjury consequent on the police's negligent crowd control (see negligence). All their claims failed, for a variety of different reasons. Alcock is generally regarded as the most authorative statement of what is required to establish a claim for psychiatric injury, in circumstances in which personal injury was not reasonably forseeable. If personal injury was forseeable, then PageVSmith1996 shows that psychiatric injury is not to be treated differently from any other type of injury, and the usual rules of negligence apply.
