What are the profound problems with the proof of S.I.A. damages?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Thomson v. S.I.A. Insurance Brokers Ltd., 2005 CanLII 24764 (ON SC):

Again, there are profound problems with the proof of S.I.A.’s damages. Most do not relate to the inherent nature of the claim such as the role of contingencies. The lack is primarily related to the failure of S.I.A. to produce the reasonable evidence required in the circumstances: Martin v. Goldfarb, op.cit..
