Indexed As: MacCabe v. Board of Education of Westlock Roman Catholic Separate School District No. 110 et al.

Alberta Court of Queen's Bench

Judicial District of Edmonton

Johnstone, J.

October 5, 1998.

Summary:

The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 after a failed gym­nastic manoeuvre in gymnastics class. She sued the principal, school district and gym­nastics teacher.

The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that the gymnastics teacher was negligent and that there was no contributory negli­gence on the part of the plaintiff. The court determined numerous issues respecting damages.

Damage Awards - Topic 489

Injury and death - General damage awards - Cost of future care - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 - Confined to a wheelchair, she had no movement in her lower extremities, only slight movement in her upper extremities and very limited movement of her left hand - She was rendered permanently incontinent and required regular catheteri­zations (four times daily) and bowel rou­tines (every other day) for the rest of her life - Her life expectancy was 76 years - The parties disputed numerous items in the claim for cost of future care including the costs for attendant care, wheelchairs, transportation, childcare, computer equip­ment and counselling - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench determined the issues - See paragraphs 503 to 882.

Damage Awards - Topic 580

Torts - Injury to third parties - General and special damages for personal care of injured person - The plaintiff was ren­dered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 - She claimed for 19,637 hours of care provided by her mother after the accident - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench reduced the claim by 1986 hours (three hours per day x 662 days) where the "over-zealous" mother did not take advan­tage of a care­giver who was available free of charge for those hours - A further 500 hours were deducted for services that the mother would have performed notwith­standing the accident - The court further discounted the time by 25% because many days would have warranted a flat fee of $171 for 24 hour care - The court applied an hourly rate of $13.50 and approved a total claim of $171,653.87 - See para­graphs 895 to 910.

Damage Awards - Topic 580

Torts - Injury to third parties - General and special damages for personal care of injured person - The plaintiff was ren­dered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 - She claimed for 1,782.5 hours of ser­vices provided by her father after the accident - The claim referenced the extra care involved in the maintenance of the plaintiff's vehicle, lifting the plaintiff, transferring her from the wheelchair to the vehicle and vice versa, helping her move into her apartment and running miscel­laneous errands - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench reduced the hours by half because the claim for maintenance of the plaintiff's vehicle represented services that a father would normally provide to a daughter - The court awarded $12,031.88 (891.25 hours x $13.50) for this claim - See paragraphs 911 to 913.

Damage Awards - Topic 580

Torts - Injury to third parties - General and special damages for personal care of injured person - The plaintiff was ren­dered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 - The plaintiff claimed for 11,478.5 hours of services provided by her boyfriend - The services included repositioning the plaintiff in bed, assisting her with catheterization, cleaning up after inconti­nence, opening doors, picking up dropped articles, securing the deadbolt on the plaintiff's apartment door, carrying a drink for her when socializing and carrying her luggage - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that most of the activities recited by the boyfriend were not compensable because they were normal duties expected of a boyfriend or signifi­cant other - The court awarded $27,222.75 for this claim (2,016.5 hours x $13.50) - See paragraphs 914 to 916.

Damages - Topic 1284

Losses by third parties - Recoverable losses - Transportation and lodging - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 - Her father entered into an agreement with the Alberta Gov­ernment Department of Social Services and Community Health, Handicapped Children's Division (HCS), whereby he borrowed $5,087.76 from HCS - The loan was to provide the plaintiff's parents with funds for, inter alia, transportation, meals and parking expenses to attend with the plaintiff during her hospitalization - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that the funds used for the above-mentioned purposes were not recoverable by the plaintiff because the loss was not the plaintiff's loss, but her father's loss - See paragraphs 887 to 889.

Damages - Topic 1526

General damages - Elements of general damages - Loss of wages - The female plaintiff was rendered an incom­plete quadriplegic at age 16 as a result of the defendant's negligence - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench noted that equality was now a fundamental constitu­tional value and refused to award damages for loss of income using data based on the actual earnings of females - Further, the court would not sanction future forecasting if it perpetuated the historic wage disparity between men and women - Accordingly, if there was a dis­parity between the male and female statistics in the employment category, the court would use the male statistics, subject to the relevant contin­gencies - If the contingencies were gender specific, then the contingencies applicable to males would be used, except in the case of life expectancy - See paragraphs 452 to 470.

Damages - Topic 1526

General damages - Elements of general damages - Loss of wages - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 - She had signifi­cant limitations, including the need for catheterization four times daily - The plaintiff had received a Bachelor of Recre­ational Administration with high grades - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that, but for the acci­dent, the plaintiff would have completed a univer­sity degree in physiotherapy, secured employment in a hospital setting and retired at age 65 - The court held that the plaintiff would com­plete a post-graduate diploma and assessed her employability potential at 50% - The court held that the plaintiff would: work in the area of recre­ation administration or health promotion; be capable of 60% full-time work; and retire at age 52 - See paragraphs 386 to 502.

Damages - Topic 1548

General damages - General damages for personal injury - Management of fund fee (investment counselling) - The plaintiff was rendered an incom­plete quadriplegic at age 16 as a result of the defendant's negli­gence - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench refused the plain­tiff's claim for a management fee - The funds awarded to the plaintiff could be invested in direct securities through a professional fund manager who should earn a return suffi­cient to offset the investment fees - See paragraphs 917 to 923.

Teachers - Duties - Duty of care - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 after a failed gym­nastic manoeuvre in gymnastics class - She sued the principal, school district and gymnastics teacher - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that the test for the existence of a legal duty of care was fully met - The teacher-student relationship which gave rise to the teacher's right to control the activities of the students also gave rise to a corresponding positive duty of care and supervision on the teacher's part - The court held that the applicable standard of care in the plaintiff's gymnas­tics class was that of a prudent and careful parent having the supra-parental expertise that is demanded of a gymnastics instruc­tor - See paragraphs 119 to 129.

Education - Topic 6463

Teachers - Duties - Duty of care - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 after a failed gym­nastic manoeuvre in gymnastics class - She sued the principal, school district and gymnastics teacher - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench stated that "[a] teacher's role is to place restrictions or limits on students to ensure that they are not exposed to an unreasonable risk in the performance of activities of an inherently dangerous nature or activities that they have not been properly trained to do" - See paragraph 154.

Education - Topic 6472

Teachers - Duties - Coaching sports or games - [See both Education - Topic 6463 and Torts - Topic 61 ].

Evidence - Topic 2061

Special modes of proof - Extra judicial admissions - Oral admissions - [See Evidence - Topic 4726 and Evidence - Topic 4752 ].

Evidence - Topic 4726

Witnesses - Examination - Impeaching credibility - Duty to give witness oppor­tunity to explain - The plaintiff was injured in gymnastics class - She sued the principal, school district and gymnastics teacher - The defendants argued that admissions made by the teacher to the plaintiff and several other students were inadmissible because the plaintiff failed to cross-examine him respecting the admis­sions at trial - The defendants submitted that the rule in Browne v. Dunn obliged the plaintiff to cross-examine the defen­dant on the alleged admissions if she intended to rely on them - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench reviewed the case law respecting Browne v. Dunn - The court found that the common law principle in Browne v. Dunn had been met and admitted the statements - The teacher had ample opportunity to explain each and every statement or to deny having made such statements - See paragraphs 4 to 33.

Evidence - Topic 4752

Witnesses - Examination - Prior incon­sistent statements - Admissibility - Foun­dation required - The plaintiff was injured in gymnastics class - She sued the princi­pal, school district and gymnastics teacher - The defendants argued that admissions made by the teacher to the plaintiff and several other students were inadmissible because the plaintiff failed to cross-exam­ine him respecting those admissions at trial - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench rejected the defendants' argument that an admission was analogous to a former inconsistent statement and therefore com­pliance with s. 24 of the Alberta Evidence Act was required - Alternatively, the statements were admissible notwithstand­ing non-compliance with s. 24 where the underlying principle of fairness protected by s. 24 and the common law principle of Browne v. Dunn was met - See para­graphs 31 to 32.

Torts - Topic 49.30

Torts - Topic 61

Negligence - Causation - Causal connec­tion - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 after a failed gymnastic manoeuvre in gymnastics class - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that the gymnastics teacher was negligent - He failed to assess each student's ability before allowing them to undertake certain manoeuvres without his direct supervision, failed to provide proper instruction or progressive training, failed to warn of the inherent dangers of the activ­ities, permitted improper equipment con­figuration, and failed to correctly supervise the activities - The court held that causa­tion was established because, inter alia, the plaintiff would not have been permitted to perform the manoeuvre which resulted in the accident if the teacher had properly discharged his duty and met the requisite standard of care - See paragraphs 114 to 269.

Torts - Topic 6601

Defences - Contributory negligence - General - What constitutes contributory negli­gence - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 after a failed gym­nastic manoeuvre in gymnastics class - The defendants alleged that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent, that in per­forming a dangerous manoeuvre for the first time, without assistance, she exer­cised a lack of judgment and failed to take the proper steps to ensure her own safety - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that the gymnastics teacher was negligent because, inter alia, he failed to provide proper instruction and correctly supervise the activities - The court held that the plaintiff was not contributorily negligent - See paragraphs 273 to 278.

Defences - Consent - Assumption of risk - Implied consent - Sports and games - The plaintiff was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic at age 16 after a failed gym­nastic manoeuvre in gymnastics class - The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench held that the gymnastics teacher was negligent because he, inter alia, failed to warn of the inherent dangers of the activ­ities - The court held that given that the instruc­tion was con­ducted in a class­room envi­ron­ment, it was not sat­isfied that the plaintiff assumed either the physi­cal or legal risk - The volenti defence was not applicable - See para­graphs 270 to 272.
