In determining the just resolution of the issues in this case I must keep in mind the words of Mr. Justice McEachern, formerly C.J.S.C. and C.J.B.C.C.A, in his decision in Butler v. Blaylock [1981] B.C.J. No. 31, October 7, 1981,: I am not stating any new principles when I say that the court should be exceedingly careful when there is little or no objective evidence of continuing injury and when complaints of pain persist for long periods extending beyond the normal or usual recovery. An injured person is entitled to be fully and properly compensated for any injury or disability caused by a wrongdoer. But no one can expect his fellow citizen or citizens to compensate him in the absence of convincing evidence - which could be just his own evidence if the surrounding circumstances are consistent - that his complaints of pain are true reflections of continuing injury.
