What is the difference between compensation for retraining, rehabilitation or loss of competitive advantage and damages resulting from measurable wage loss?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Vanderaa v. Vanderaa, 1995 CanLII 7360 (ON SC):
In my view there is a distinction between compensation for retraining, rehabilitation or loss of competitive advantage and damages resulting from a measurable wage loss. The first category of damages is personal and is of the nature meant to be excluded by para. 3 of s. 4(2) and the latter category of damages is not in the words of Mittler v. Mittler completely personal to the recipient and for the purpose of replacing some aspect of their enjoyment of life which cannot be truly shared with any other individual no matter how close their relationship.
