What is the test for a loss of housekeeping capacity award?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Curpen v Burns, 2021 BCSC 685 (CanLII):
In most cases where a stand-alone award is made for loss of housekeeping capacity there is evidence that the residual injuries have placed some real limitations on the plaintiff’s ability to perform household chores either entirely or to the same extent and with the same efficiency. In addition, in those cases the medical evidence supports that the plaintiff has some restriction in managing household chores. For example, see the award in Suthakar v. Humble, 2016 BCSC 155.
