British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sigalet v Cedrone Law Corporation, 2017 BCSC 1458 (CanLII):
The plaintiff argues that she suffers from chronic pain from a very serious car accident that has rendered her partially disabled. She says that the most likely date for assessment of her injuries would be 2014. She contends it is also possible that the appropriate trial date would be 2017: Mackey v. British Columbia, 2016 BCSC 1333. She claims determination of this date is a question of law for the trial judge.
