British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Olson v. Farran, 2016 BCSC 1255 (CanLII):
The defendant opposes any award for loss of housekeeping capacity. As the defendant submits, the plaintiff must establish a real and substantial possibility that she will continue in the future to be unable to perform all of her usual and necessary housework, and that she will need to pay someone else or will require others to gratuitously perform work she is unable to do herself: Menhinick v. Lobesz, 2008 BCSC 1285 at para. 55.
