What is the appropriate retirement age for a retired person who would have retired at the age of 62?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Brooks v. Stefura, 1998 ABQB 440 (CanLII):

I was not provided with any specific evidence as to when the deceased would have retired, and evidently he had not stated any intention in this regard prior to his death. Given that by the age of 62 the deceased would have had more than 25 years of pensionable earnings, and given that he was a very active person who enjoyed recreational activities, I find that he would have retired at age 62, and that a retirement age of 62 is the appropriate basis for calculations on the basis of Duncan v. Baddeley. In view of the stable work history of the deceased, it would not be appropriate to apply any negative contingency for premature retirement.
