What is the test for interpretation of the definition of a person’s personal injury?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from 613952 B.C. Ltd. v. British Columbia (Liquor Control and Licensing Branch), 2004 BCSC 1413 (CanLII):
Anticipating that the respondent would argue that the definition was ambiguous and thus should be interpreted in a manner that does not give rise to absurd results, the petitioner argues that there is no ambiguity on the face of the definition. There can be absurdity without ambiguity and that is what this regulation creates. For that proposition, the petitioner relies on Regina v. McIntosh, 1995 CanLII 124 (SCC), [1995] 1 S.C.R. 686.
