Overview: As New Jersey Punitive Damages Act, N.J.S.A. §§ 2A:15-5.9 to -5.17, prohibited enhancing a punitive damage award for general deterrence purposes, court erred in condoning plaintiff's argument to jurors that by amount of their punitive damage award, they could send a message that would deter others from allowing sexual harassment in the workplace.

View this case - free  

Overview: That plaintiffs were pro se for much of the time after initial dismissal of their suit was not an "exceptional circumstance" necessary to avoid dismissal with prejudice under R. 4:23-5(a)(2), as court had painstakingly explained to them their obligation to provide all outstanding discovery within 90 days and consequences of their failure to do so.
