What is the appropriate approach for assessing capital assets rather than earnings?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Moini v. Liang, 2016 BCSC 702 (CanLII):

The earnings approach will be more appropriate when the loss is more easily measurable: Westbroek v. Brizuela, 2014 BCCA 48 at para. 64. The matter at hand is not such a case. I conclude that the capital asset approach is best suited to this assessment.
