What is the impact of illegal immigration on a plaintiff's income?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Belton v. Spencer, 2021 ONSC 2029 (CanLII):

In addition, the pecuniary loss compensation actually awarded to the plaintiff is not for a very specific income loss but rather the loss of the plaintiff’s future earning capacity as a truck driver which he did before this incident on May 31, 2010. He will not be profiting from his illegal behaviour or misrepresentations to the immigration authorities. Kim v. Choi, [2020] BCCA 98.
