What is the current state of the law on loss of future earnings capacity?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Delgiglio v. British Columbia (Public Safety and Solicitor General), 2012 BCSC 480 (CanLII):
There are two approaches to assessment of loss of future earnings capacity described in Perrin v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140 at para.32: the earnings approach and capital asset approach. The plaintiff is urging the earnings approach in its submission. It is unnecessary to consider the capital asset approach, as neither party is advocating that approach.
