Reasons on Post-Trial Motion Re: Collateral Benefits Addendum
NICHOLSON J.:
[1] I released Reasons dated December 5, 2023, with respect to whether certain Manulife benefits were deductible from Mr. McCurdy’s loss of income award following a jury trial.
[2] In those Reasons, I stated that the parties had agreed that no deductible applied to the Family Law Act award made to Sandra McCurdy, which was $65,000.
[3] I was advised by the parties today that I misunderstood their agreement. In fact, the parties agree that Sandra McCurdy’s award of $65,000 is subject to the statutory deductible of $22,183.63.
[4] In fact no deductible would apply to an award for loss of care, guidance and companionship that exceeds $73,944.18 as of 2023. Accordingly, the parties are correct and Sandra McCurdy’s award is subject to the deductible.
[5] Accordingly, the net judgment should be as follows:
In respect of Randy McCurdy Non-Pecuniary General Damages $ 245,000.00 Past Loss of Income $ 16,667.83 Future Loss of Income $1,362,887.00 Pre-judgment interest $ 13,762.96
In respect of Sandra McCurdy (wife) Loss of care, guidance and companionship $ 42,816.37 Compensation for Services Rendered $ 35,000.00 Pre-judgment interest $ 4,371.36
In respect of Jackson Loss of care, guidance and companionship $ 7,816.37 Compensation for Services Rendered $ 6,000.00 Pre-judgment interest $ 776.14
In respect of Mya Loss of care, guidance and companionship $ 7,816.37 Compensation for Services Rendered $ 6,000.00 Pre-judgment interest $ 776.14
In respect of Olivia (youngest child) Loss of care, guidance and companionship $ 0.00
TOTAL NET JUDGMENT $1,749,690.54
[6] I apologize for that oversight and appreciate the parties bringing it to my attention.
