(a) In Leardi v. Brown, supra at 158-159, we held that, under the amended version of § 9 (1), the invasion of any legally protected right was compensable. In Maillet v. ATF-Davidson, Co., 407 Mass. 185 (1990), we clarified that this included invasions in the form of injury to the person. See id. at 192. Because severe emotional distress is a form of personal injury, see Simon v. Solomon, 385 Mass. 91, 95, 111 (1982), it would seem to follow that it also is compensable under § 9, if the injury is the product of a violation of G. L. c. 93A, § 2.
