What is the range of damages for loss of housekeeping capacity?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Rogalsky v. Harrett, 2014 BCSC 1255 (CanLII):

In Dykeman v. Porohowski, 2010 BCCA 36, Newbury J.A. at para. 28 summarized the governing principles with respect to awarding damages for the loss or impairment of housekeeping capacity. She affirmed that damages for the loss of housekeeping capacity may be awarded even though the plaintiff has not incurred any expense because housekeeping services were gratuitously replaced by a family member. Recovery may be allowed for both the future loss of the ability to perform household tasks as well as for the loss of such abilities prior to trial. The amount of compensation awarded must be commensurate with the plaintiff's loss: Dykeman at para. 29.
