Abstract

Although there is a debate over the purpose of punitive damages, it is generally admitted that their main goals are to deter and to punish wrongdoers : "punitive damages are designed to punish a defendant for grossly inappropriate actions and, in doing so, to deter future such actions by signaling that their consequences can be severe"
