What is the range of reasonableness for using the term “reasonable” in a claim?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bates v. John Bishop Jewellers Limited, 2009 BCSC 158 (CanLII):
In Saalfeld v. Absolute Software Corporation, 2009 BCCA 18, the importance of determining a range of reasonableness from recent British Columbia precedents was reaffirmed. As was stated by Huddart J.A. at para. 14, looking to comparables and adjusting for differences permits a reasoned objective analysis. The difficulty in the present case is in finding what may be described as comparables.
