Life Without Flavor
Hurt in a bus accident, Marvin
claimed damages for an assort
ment of injuries. One of his com
plaints was that he had lost his
sense of taste. But in court, the
company objected to this item:
"True, it is unpleasant to have
no sense of taste. But this is not
the kind of injury that has any
effect upon his ability to earn a f - t
living.”
Nevertheless, the court decided
Marvin was indeed entitled to
compensation for his affliction.
"One does not need to be a
gourmet," said the judge, “to
conclude that the consumption of
food and drink represents a not
inconsiderable portion of (the) en
joyment of life. To be deprived of
the capacity to enjoy flavorful
dishes and palatable beverages is
to be robbed of much of what
goes into a rewarding existence.”
Most courts, on similar reason
ing, do allow damages for the
harm done to one’s “enjoyment of
life.” This may include, among
other things, a diminished ability
to indulge in sports and hobbies.
For example:
A young woman was knocked
down by a speeding taxi, suffer- I
ing a permanent leg injury. Seek
ing reimbursement in court, she
pointed out that she could no
longer either dance or play tennis.
And here too the judge decided
that an "enjoyment of life” award |
made sense.
However, as in damage claims
generally, the courts frown on
claims that are founded on mere
guesswork.
In another case an injured
plaintiff offered medical evidence
that he "might” develop rheuma
tism in his left knee. This, he
feared, could put a crimp some
day in his enjoyment of life.
But the court ruled that this
was inadequate grounds for his
; claim. The law cannot hand out
1 damages, said the court, on the
1 basis of a bare “speculative pos
sibility.”
For Sale; Luck
Harold’s mail order business
perked up when he began offering
"lucky stones” for sale. But
postal authorities soon haled him
into court on a charge of mail
fraud.
“It’s a phony deal,” they told
the judge. "Obviously no one can
promise good luck from mere
rocks.”
But when Harold pointed out
that he made no specific claims |
i for the stones beyond their name,
the court tossed out the charge.
“There is nothing immoral,”
said the court, “in the belief that
gems or amulets affect the wear
er’s fortunes; if the (defendant)
wishes to sell lucky rocks for
what they are, without lying
about them, (he) is not acting
fraudulently.”
The case illustrates the fine line
the law must draw in deciding
when the mails have been used to
cheat the public. Consider anoth
er, contrasting case;
Here a man offered—by mail
to do psychic readings that would
reveal “the whole truth” about a
person's future. His readings were
supposed to be based on date of
birth, sex, and race. But all the
man really did was to send out an
identical form letter to everybody.
This time a jury found him
guilty of “conscious and inten
tional fraud in promising to do
things he did not intend to do.”
And a woman ran afoul of the
postal laws by operating a service
for the lovelorn. Her technique
was to pull in members with teas
er ads such as "Wealthy manu
facturer wishes to meet congenial,
home-loving wife” or “Wealthy
young widow seeks husband and
/ adviser.”
' But in fact she never introduced
anybody to anybody, contenting
herself with simply pocketing the
membership fees. Finding her
guilty of mail fraud, a court said
“the scheme cannot be said in
any sense to be a bona fide
matrimonial bureau.”
