British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from L’Heureux v Deegan, 2022 BCSC 382 (CanLII):
The plaintiff is required to prove future negative contingencies on a “real and substantial possibility” of occurrence (Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140 at para. 32), a lower threshold than a balance of probabilities, but a higher threshold than something only possible and speculative.
