What is the test for a plaintiff to prove that they have diminished capacity to earn income in the future?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Steinlauf v Deol, 2021 BCSC 1118 (CanLII):
Constable Steinlauf’s own perception that he has a diminished capacity to earn income in the future is insufficient. He must show that there “is a realistic possibility [that he] will be less able to compete in the marketplace—with economic consequences, not merely psychological ones”: Kim v. Morier, 2014 BCCA 63 at para. 8. Plaintiff’s Position on Loss of Future Earning Capacity
