Yukon, Canada
The following excerpt is from Grennan Estate v. Alton, 2001 YKSC 523 (CanLII):
The actuary, whose calculations I had accepted, had computed the damages according to the principles set out in Duncan Estate v. Baddely, supra, up to the time of trial. All parties agree that the damages should be updated from the start of the trial (September 5, 2000) to the date when the Reasons for Judgment were filed (February 28, 2001).
