Is there any need for expert opinion to be used to arrive at the present value of a future judgment?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Oudeh v. Prior-Oudeh, 2021 ONSC 3718 (CanLII):
This court has observed that it may be necessary to have expert opinion evidence to arrive at the present value of a future judgment on the valuation date: see Sheikh v. Sheikh, 2010 ONSC 1407, at para 47. While hindsight evidence may not be permissible under any circumstances, it does not even arise in this case since the estate litigation was no further ahead at trial than it was on the valuation date. This lack of progress may inform the assessment of the foreseeability or probability of the applicant being found liable to pay anything in the estate litigation.
