The following excerpt is from Litt v. Hassan, 2015 BCSC 1920 (CanLII):

Once that threshold is met, the plaintiff may prove the amount of loss by using either the earnings approach, when the loss can be readily measured, or the capital asset approach, when the loss is not easily measurable: Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140 at para. 32.
