Parrish v. Sollecito

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• denying motion for new trial, finding evidence was properly excluded to avoid prejudice and confusion
• reducing punitive damages from $500,000 to $50,000 where the plaintiff suffered a “low degree of actual harm,” the award was 33 times the compensatory damages award, and the court was also awarding attorneys’ fees
• reducing a fee award by ten percent from the lodestar based in part on the imposition of a punitive damages cap, where “limited recovery of actual damages [entailed] limited success, despite the obviously considerable success entailed in the jury’s punitive damage award”
• “[A]s this issue has not been resolved by the Second Circuit, such [Eleventh Circuit] precedent is not controlling in this Circuit and this Court is not bound by it.”
• “A new trial is only warranted where the attorney's concluding argument deprived the opposite party of a fair trial.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)
• “[O]nly after a verdict is submitted, the trial court must ensure that any award complies with the relevant statutory maximums applicable.”
