Are there cases wherein there was no award for an admitted injury?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ferguson v. Lush, 2003 BCCA 579 (CanLII):
However, cases wherein there was no award for an admitted injury are distinct from the case at bar. It could be argued that there is a hint of support for the “internally inconsistent” theory of intervention to be found in Dubach v. Nahal, [2003] B.C.J. No. 2292, 2003 BCCA 526. The submission by the appellant was as in the case at bar. That is, that the award for non-pecuniary damages was inordinately low and that there was an internal inconsistency between the various awards.
