3220 A plaintiff who suffered emotional distress at seeing his mother-in-law waste away as a result of the negligence of defendant nursing home was not sufficiently closely related to recover as a bystander, and the fact that plaintiff signed the patient's admission papers did not entitle him to recover as a direct victim of the negligence.CitationMOON v GUARDIAN (Mother-in-Law) 95 CA4 1004 [See: Dillon v Legg 68 C2 728; Thing v LaChusa 48 C3 644; Klein v Children's Hospital 46 CA4 889, T/AT 7/96; Huggins v Longs 6 C4 124, T/AT 1/94; Molien v Kaiser 27 C3 916]
