Simmons & Simmons

In the third episode of our podcast series on Product Liability, Jacques-Antoine Robert and David Kidman tackle the complex issue of valuing anxiety damage and its 'cascading effect' on family members. They navigate the contrasting legal landscapes of the UK and France, revealing a UK approach that follows strict brackets for valuing damages, and a French approach that has awarded lump sum payments to large groups of claimants, including secondary victims.
