In what circumstances will a plaintiff not be able to apply for a graduate degree?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Anderson (Guardian of) v. Bicknell, 1998 CanLII 6549 (BC SC):
In Adamo v. Martini (May 22, 1998), Vancouver B952417/B961549 (B.C.S.C.) Chief Justice Williams referred to the above quotation and noted that plaintiff's counsel was contending that even where there is no evidence the plaintiff would have seriously applied for graduate school, even though she could not meet the standards for application and even though there was only a remote possibility that she would have been admitted, that he should make an award. The Chief Justice said: I don't consider that Athey goes that far, nor do I think that desire to attend graduate school can be equated with the possibility that she would have been admitted. In my view, to suggest that these accidents precluded the plaintiff from becoming a graduate psychologist, could only be described as highly speculative and therefore no award should be made.
