British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Senft v. MacGregor, 1979 CanLII 754 (BC CA):
Seaton J.A.: I agree. I would like to add that, in my view, Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alta. Ltd., 1978 CanLII 1 (SCC), [1978] S.C.R. 229, [1978] 1 W.W.R, 577, 3 C.C.L.T. 225, 8 A.R. 182, 83 D.L.R. (3d) 452, 19 N.R. 50, intended to, and did, fix rough upper limits on awards for personal injuries that are applicable generally, and not just to quadriplegics, and not just to those who have been compensated for future care.
