Question juridique clé
Whether the psychological disorders remained adequately causally linked to the 27 January 2006 accident after 1 January 2010
Solution extraite
The psychological problems became a distinct and independent condition no later than two years after the accident; adequate causation was denied.
Motifs extraits
Medical reports showed early and predominant psychical symptoms. The applicable adequacy test was that for psychic sequelae, not the whiplash-specific test, because the psychological disorder had become independent of the somatic trauma.
