California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Montoya v. Shah, D054210 (Cal. App. 3/2/2010), D054210. (Cal. App. 2010):
Accordingly, that part of the judgment awarding punitive damages is reversed. Because Montoya had a full and fair opportunity to present his case for punitive damages, no retrial of the issue is required. (Baxter v. Peterson, supra, 150 Cal.App.4th at p. 681.)
