The Court of Appeal in dismissing the appeal held that apart from proving good health, the plaintiff must also show that she would continue to earn if not because of the injury pursuant to S. 28A (2)(c)(i) CLA. However, as her work permit had expired, the COA held that there was no real assessable loss.
