Rulings Complicate Deciding Punitive-Damages Standards
My April 22 article in this publication commented on recent rulings in the state regarding the ratio between compensatory and punitive damages in light of State Farm Mut. Auto. Assurance Co. v. Campbell, 548 U.S. 408 (2003). That article noted that the state Supreme Court had just granted a petition for review in Simon v. San Paolo U.S. Holding and in Johnson v. Ford Motor and discussed those two decisions.
