Download or read book Landmark Cases in the Law of Punitive Damages written by James Goudkamp and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punitive damages are private law's most controversial remedy. This book traces the development of the jurisdiction from the foundational decisions of Huckle v Money and Wilkes v Wood in England, to leading modern cases such as Harris v Digital Pulse Pty Ltd in Australia, Whiten v Pilot Insurance Co in Canada, Couch v AG (No 2) in New Zealand, PH Hydraulics and Engineering Pte Ltd v Airtrust (Hong Kong) Ltd in Singapore and Mathias v Accor Economy Lodging, Inc and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co v Campbell in the United States. Many of the decisions addressed are not only landmarks regarding punitive damages but are among the most important judgments delivered in private law more generally. The essays, which are written by leading scholars from a wide range of jurisdictions, cast new light on the cases covered. They do so by examining their historical antecedents and the impact that they have had on the development of the law. The full spectrum of issues regarding punitive damages is addressed including the insurability of punishment, constitutional constraints on the remedy's availability and whether the award should be confined to particular causes of action. The collection will be of interest to all scholars and students of private law. It concentrates on common law cases although civilian perspectives, drawn from France and Germany, are also offered.

Download or read book Constitutional Limits on Punitive Damages Awards written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Courts sometimes award punitive (or exemplary) damages in addition to compensatory damages. Compensatory damages redress the "loss the plaintiff has suffered by reason of the defendant's wrongful conduct." Punitive damages serve the dual purposes of deterrence and retribution, and are viewed as "quasi-criminal" and as "private fines"; the Supreme Court has defined their imposition as "an expression of [the jury's] moral condemnation." In a 5-4 decision on February 20, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated and remanded the Oregon Supreme Court's decision in Philip Morris USA v. Williams, a case in which the Oregon Supreme Court held that a punitive damages award of $79.5 million did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court had granted certiorari to consider "[w]hether, in reviewing a jury's award of punitive damages, an appellate court's conclusion that a defendant's conduct was highly reprehensible and analogous to a crime can 'override' the constitutional requirement that punitive damages be reasonably related to the plaintiff's harm." The Court had further agreed to consider "[w]hether due process permits a jury to punish a defendant for the effects of its conduct on non-parties." Holding that the Due Process Clause does not allow a jury to base the amount of a punitive damage award on the jury's "desire to punish the defendant for harming persons who are not before the court," the Court then declined to examine whether the $79.5 million award was "grossly excessive." This report summarizes decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court in relevant punitive damages cases, discusses lower court rulings in Philip Morris USA v. Williams, analyzes arguments in the appeal of the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, examines factors the Court considered in its decision, and elucidates concerns for the future.
