Can a plaintiff's age balance out the application of the Golden Years doctrine?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Millar v Wasden, 2020 BCSC 1210 (CanLII):
Several decisions, whose conclusions I accept, have considered that a plaintiff’s age and the application of the “Golden Years” doctrine may in a sense balance each other out; see for example Johal v. Radek, 2016 BCSC 454 at para. 52 and the authorities that are referred to in that paragraph.
