Ramon Cuevas and Jeffrey Cuevas, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Wentworth Group, Wentworth Property Management…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court's denial of a remittitur of the emotional‑distress damages awarded to the Cuevas brothers, holding that the award did not shock the judicial conscience and that judges may not rely on personal knowledge of other verdicts or on purportedly comparable verdicts in a remittitur analysis.
