What is the test for a letter carrier who is unable to carry a load of letters?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kondraczynski v. Rai, 2013 BCSC 1061 (CanLII):

I accept that the plaintiff has shown a real and substantial possibility of a loss of earning capacity as a result of the accident. While unexplored work accommodations may attenuate that loss somewhat, the plaintiff's injuries are persistent, likely to be with her on at least an intermittent basis in the future and likely to affect her ability to accept all of the work hours that will be available to her, particularly load-bearing activities like letter-carrying extensions. I am satisfied that she has met the test set out in Perren v. Lalari.
