Is there any precedent for the seriousness and permanence of injuries at bar?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kirby v. B.C.(Attorney General of), 1997 CanLII 2611 (BC SC):

I do not believe that Hilderley v. Dore (February 20, 1996) Vancouver #B941240, relied on by the defendants is representative of a claim involving the seriousness and permanence of the injuries at bar.
