Gibson s Bakery Wants Ohio Supreme Court To Restore Full Punitive Damage Verdict Against Oberlin College
Gibson s Bakery filed today its response to Oberlin College s request that the Ohio Supreme Court exercise its discretion to hear the college s appeal from the $32 million judgment (which includes attorney s fees and costs). That judgment resulted from the $11 million compensatory and $33 million punitive damage awards totalling $44 million, reduced by the trial court under Ohio tort reform law to $25 million. The bulk of that reduction was that over $10 million in punitive damages were eliminated by punitive damage caps.
Everyone direct your positive thoughts to the Ohio Supreme Court on this one.
