Is there any case law supporting a claim for loss of housekeeping capacity?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bideci v. Neuhold, 2014 BCSC 542 (CanLII):
I would go further and say there is a completely insufficient body of evidence from which I could conclude that the legal requirements for loss of housekeeping capacity as set out, for example, in McTavish v. MacGillivray , 2000 BCCA 164, have been established.
The same is also true of the claim for damages for cost of future care. The applicable principles were summarized in Dent v. Young, supra, at paras. 117-18. The plaintiff has not established a medical justification for his claim for cost of future care and that the claims are reasonable. In addition, the evidence does not establish the reasonableness of any future care costs to preserve the plaintiff’s health.
