Does a plaintiff have to prove that there is a real and substantial possibility of a future event leading to an income loss?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Demidas v. Poinen, 2012 BCSC 416 (CanLII):

The defendants say the plaintiff has failed to prove that there is a real and substantial possibility of a future event leading to an income loss (see Perren v. Lalari 2010 BCCA 140). That case reiterates the proposition that a plaintiff must first prove a substantial possibility of a future income loss before the court will move on to assess that loss, using either an assessment based on earnings or an assessment based on a capital asset approach.
