What is the test for a plaintiff who suffers from severe headaches?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Culver v. 624671 B.C. Ltd. et al, 2006 BCSC 1241 (CanLII):
The plaintiff was 20 years old at the time of the incident. He has many working years ahead of him. In applying the test in Kwei v. Boisclair, supra, I find that while it is unclear what other types of employment may be unsuitable or closed to him due to his headaches, it is clear that the plaintiff is less able to take advantage of all job opportunities previously open to him, and is perhaps less valuable to himself as a person capable of earning income in a competitive labour market.
