British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Stewart v Dhoulthon, 2020 BCSC 1439 (CanLII):

Under the capital asset approach, one way of assessing loss of future earning capacity involves a consideration of a multiplier of annual income, but this is not the only available option. There is no single formula for determining loss of future income earning capacity: Jurczak v. Mauro, 2013 BCCA 507 at para. 35.
