Laurie Marie M. v. Jeffrey T. M.

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division’s order, holding that the issue of punitive damages was properly submitted to the jury. The Court based its decision on a review of submissions under section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals. It also observed that the argument concerning the alleged excessiveness of the jury’s verdict does not raise a legal question for this Court’s review.
