Punitives are disfavored, but treble damages are not the same as punitives and are provided for by statute. Supreme court case and congressional bill are up in the air and niether will necessarily help Js. The Appellate process is not something any litigant wants to have to hang his hat on. Statistically at least 80% fail and the appellant typically has to post a bond in the amount of damages and pay interest.
