Is a plaintiff entitled to compensation for loss of housekeeping capacity?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kim v. Lin, 2016 BCSC 2405 (CanLII):
It is now settled law that in British Columbia an injured plaintiff is entitled to an award for loss of housekeeping capacity if s/he can establish such a loss (Campbell v. Banman, 2009 BCCA 484). Such a claim would include compensation for loss of ability to provide childcare. Care should be taken, however, not to duplicate awards under different heads of damage and thereby overcompensate a plaintiff.
