IIED

 

 Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

故意导致受害人的情绪困扰

 

The key testable elements for intentional infliction of emotional distress (“IIED”) are:

I. An act by the defendant amounting to extreme and outrageous conduct;

II. The plaintiff must suffer severe emotional distress, but physical injury is not required.

 

 IIED构成要件是:

l.  被告的行为到达了极端且骇人的程度;

lI.  原告遭受了严重的情绪困扰, 但是并不要求身体上的伤害。

 

Extreme and Outrageous Conduct 

极端且骇人的行为

 

Extreme and outrageous conduct refers to the conduct that is continuous in nature, that is committed by a certain type of defendant (common carriers or innkeepers may be liable even for mere gross insults), or that is directed toward a certain type of plaintiff (children, elderly persons, someone who is pregnant, supersensitive adults if the sensitivities are known to defendant).

 

极端且骇人的行为是指该行为本身具有持续性,由特定类型的被告实施(普通承运人或旅店老板对无礼的辱骂承担责任),或直接针对特定类型的原告(儿童、老人、孕妇、敏感性被被告所知的极度敏感的成年人)

 

Conduct Acted at Third Person

针对第三人的行为

 

When the defendant’s conduct is directed at a third person, and the plaintiff suffers severe emotional distress because of it, the plaintiff must show that they were present when the injury occurred; that the distress resulted in bodily harm or that the plaintiff is a close relative of the third person; and that the defendant knew these facts.

 

当被告的行为是针对第三人的,原告因此而遭受严重情绪困扰的,原告需要证明在伤害发生时原告是在场的;这种困扰导致身体伤害或者原告是第三人的近亲属;并且被告就此情况是明知的。

 


我国《民法典》

 

第一千一百八十三条 

侵害自然人人身权益造成严重精神损害的,被侵权人有权请求精神损害赔偿。

因故意或者重大过失侵害自然人具有人身意义的特定物造成严重精神损害的,被侵权人有权请求精神损害赔偿。
