General Steel Domestic Sales, LLC, D/b/a General Steel Corporation, a — Eid, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting…

Summary

Justice Eid concurred in part and dissented in part, agreeing with the majority regarding the scope of POME but rejecting its affirmance of the trebling of punitive damages. She reasoned that the statute required proof that the defendants' conduct actually aggravated the plaintiff's damages and that the litigation conduct did not constitute willful and wanton conduct. She would therefore reverse the trebling determination and apply de novo review to the statutory issues.
