Is there a case for a separate pecuniary award for loss of housekeeping capacity?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Singh v Reddy, 2020 BCSC 448 (CanLII):

Duplication must be avoided. Where potential costs for housekeeping assistance are awarded in the context of costs of future care, then the case for a separate pecuniary award for loss of housekeeping capacity is lessened and perhaps eliminated, depending on the specific facts of the case: Firman v. Asadi, 2019 BCSC 270 at para. 236.
