British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from L.A.F. v G.M.F.C. Ltd., 2019 BCSC 2252 (CanLII):
Loss of housekeeping capacity may be compensated by a pecuniary or non-pecuniary award. The non-pecuniary approach may be preferred where the plaintiff is limited, but not unable, to do household tasks, whereas a pecuniary award may be more appropriate where replacement services are hired or family members provide gratuitous support: Kim v. Lin, 2018 BCCA 77 at para. 28.
