In this edition of our newsletter, we will be discussing the court decision Thomas Andreas Klatt v. La Toc Holdings Limited, 2021 ONSC 2121 [1].


 
In particular, we will be examining the judge’s satisfaction and critique of the Life Care Planner’s (LCP) future care cost (FCC) report.

In this court case, Mr. Klatt and his family traveled from Toronto to the Sandals Regency La Toc Golf Resort & Spa in Saint Lucia on January 4, 2009. During the first two days of their holiday, Mr. Klatt slipped on the stairs on his way to the plunge pool and suffered a serious injury to his left leg. He was diagnosed with a left quadriceps rupture, requiring surgery.
 
Mr. Klatt relied on the expert evidence of a LCP, who was qualified to give expert evidence on the quantification of future care needs and costs.
