Arizona Supreme Court September 13, 2001, CV-00-0006-CQ (Haralson v. Fisher Surveying, Inc.)

McGREGOR, Justice,

concurring in part and dissenting in part:

¶ 32 Until today, Arizona’s justice system upheld the basic and essential principle that we do not punish an innocent party for another’s wrongdoing. Because today’s holding that punitive damages may be assessed against the estate of a deceased tortfeasor upends that principle, I respectfully dissent.
