Pecuniary Diminished Housekeeping Capacity Claim Succeeds at Trial
Last year the BC Court of Appeal clarified the law surrounding claims for diminished housekeeping capacity. In short the court noted care must be taken to determine if a loss is for pecuniary vs non-pecuniary diminished housekeeping capacity. This distinction is perhaps more important than ever given the recent legal changes capping the non-pecuniary rights of British Columbians.
To this end helpful reasons for judgment were published today by the BC Supreme Court, Vancouver Registry, assessing damages for pecuniary diminished capacity.
