What is the impact of a stroke on a person's earnings?

Following a four day trial in June 2006 (Griffiths v. Griffiths, 2006 BCSC 1077) at para. 12, Mr. Justice Smith had this to say with regard to the earnings of the defendant: In this case, there is very little reliable evidence of what the defendant actually earns or of what should reasonably be imputed to him. The defendant says he has not worked since his stroke (in 1999), but no medical evidence was called to support the contention that his ability to earn income has been affected. In fact, the defendant was not employed at the time of his stroke and had not been employed for several years. The family lived very well from investment income and/or liquidation of assets when necessary. To the extent that his investments must be properly managed to generate income, the defendant has the assistance of professional advisors.
