What is the impact of the use of a capital asset approach in determining earnings?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Sabbagh v. Li, 2015 BCSC 788 (CanLII):

In my view, the answer to those questions can be better determined by the use of an earnings approach rather than by the use of a capital asset approach as those approaches are discussed in Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140 at para. 32 [Perren].
