The following excerpt is from MacDonald v. Joseph, 2015 BCSC 1461 (CanLII):
All parties agree that the appropriate approach to assessment the value of the plaintiff’s past wage loss is through calculation of the cost of funding an employee who undertook the tasks that the plaintiff was unable to do, taking into account all realistic contingencies (Sirak v. Noonward, 2015 BCSC 274 at para. 179).
