Saskatchewan operates a unique elective system: drivers choose at the time of insurance whether to be governed by the no-fault scheme or the common-law tort regime. For fracture claims specifically, the band is built from the Andrews v Grand & Toy non-pecuniary cap framework and then adjusted for Saskatchewan's common-law contributory reduction and any applicable statutory cap.
