Judge Decides Tough Issue in Adultery Damages Case
In London a British Appeal Court panel reduced a $21,000 lower court award to $6,600 for Frederick Pritchard whose wife left him for an older, wealthier man. Lord Diplock said the slighter the rival’s means, the harsher the blow to self esteem. Lord Scarman noted the husband suffered no financial loss and may be better off. The ruling centers on wounded pride and hurt feelings rather than money.
