What is the legal test for extrapolating future income for a female student?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from A.T.-B. v. Mah, 2012 ABQB 777 (CanLII):
The Defendant argues that in this instance A.’s future income should be extrapolated from the historic pay of females with a university education, and specifically argues that binding authority, MacCabe v. Westlock Roman Catholic Separate School District No. 110, 2001 ABCA 257 at para. 124, 293 A.R. 41, indicates that different gender approach is not appropriate as: ... in this case the application of female contingencies would not perpetuate or sanction historical and societal discrimination. Further, wage statistics perpetuate nothing. Valid data reflects historical reality.
