Report Link Court Rejects Enhancement to Damage Award to Offset Adverse Tax Consequences.Ogletree Deakins - September 10, 2008 Adding to the divide among New Jersey courts, the Appellate Division held that a trial court should not have increased a $100,000 award for emotional distress damages by approximately $70,000 to offset the adverse tax consequences the plaintiff would incur as a result of the lump sum award in a denial of free speech case. Report Link Punitive Damages Not Appropriate in Negligent Hiring/Retention Case Where Employer Had No Reason to Believe Employee Was a Danger to Customers.Ogletree Deakins - September 10, 2008 In this case, the Court affirmed a jury’s decision not to award punitive damages against the employer, where the employee attacked a patron with a 10-inch knife following an argument, after which his co-workers retrieved and tried to dispose of the knife. Plaintiff, the victim of the attack, claimed the employer should be punished for ignoring the employee’s “FEAR ME” tattoo, which violated company policy; for refusing to make him remove it promptly; and for hiring him without references and without obtaining a social security number. Report Link New Jersey Supreme Court Rejects Punitive Damages as a General Deterrent.Jackson Lewis LLP - April 09, 2008 A unanimous New Jersey Supreme Court has held that an award of punitive damages against an employer under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (“LAD”) should not be increased to enhance the general deterrence effect on other employers. The Court also held that in determining the amount of punitive damages, a jury may consider both the employer’s financial condition at the time of the wrongdoing as well as its financial worth at the time of judgment.
