The following excerpt is from Chawla v Lambright, 2017 BCSC 1884 (CanLII):
Perren v. Lalari, 2010 BCCA 140 discusses the requirement for the plaintiff to prove a “real and substantial possibility of a future event leading to an income loss“ with the quantification of that loss of earning capacity determined on an earnings approach or a capital asset approach. This future loss of income may still be proved notwithstanding the fact that the plaintiff has returned to his or her employment.
