California Court of Appeal October 11, 1996, A065995 (Stevens v. Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp.)

Opinion

PARRILLI, J.

In this case appellant objects to an award of punitive damages, claiming punitive damages awarded in other cases have already fulfilled the objectives of punishment and deterrence. We hold that before such a claim may be raised on appeal, the appellant must first present evidence of the other awards to the trier of fact.
