What is the appropriate award for non-pecuniary damages?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Friesen v Moo, 2018 BCSC 1866 (CanLII):

As part of my assessment of the appropriate award for non-pecuniary damages I have taken into account the comparable facts in each case cited by the parties and the factors set out in Stapley v. Hejslet, 2006 BCCA 34 at para. 46. My assessment of non-pecuniary damages is based on the findings made above. I will not repeat them here.
