One daughter restructured her post-secondary education to assist Warick. She also received no-costs assistance from Alberta Health for 17 hours per week. The trial judge believed this did not approach what a person of ample means would find reasonable, and found that Warick required 13 hours of care per day.

He also accepted that the daughter’s care would at some point cease, while Warick’s needs would increase to 24 hours per day by the time Warick was 74. The resulting total award was $3,135,902....
