What is the test for determining whether a plaintiff is entitled to full compensation for non-pecuniary damages?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Aberdeen v. Township of Langley, Zanatta, Cassels, 2007 BCSC 993 (CanLII):
Again, this passage appears to be primarily directed at placing a limit on non-pecuniary damages. Thus, the judgments in Warren v. King similarly support the notion that full compensation should be made for pecuniary losses (taking into account contingencies), while only fair and reasonable compensation should be given for non-pecuniary losses.
