355 But for his now expected premature death from mesothelioma the plaintiff would have obtained age 70 in six years five months time. However, the plaintiff now has a life expectancy of approximately three and a half years from the date of trial, that is to about November 2009. During those "lost years" expenses that would necessarily have been incurred by the plaintiff in producing the earnings, but that are now saved, must be deducted from the earnings that are used as the basis for the calculation of damages for lost earning capacity: see Luntz at [5.4.3]. I deduct an amount of $100 per week on that account. To work out the plaintiff's loss of earning capacity from November 2009 to October 2012 (ie the lost years) the 6 per cent multiplier for three and a half years, that is 167, is subtracted from the 6 per cent multiplier for six years five months, that is 282, that is a multiplier of 115. Applying a multiplier of 115 to a loss of $455 per week gives a loss of $52,235. I apply a slightly higher discount rate for adverse contingencies for working years between the age of 68 and 70 than for younger years. I apply a discount rate of 18 per cent. That gives a loss of $42,832.70 for the "lost years".
