No Rehearing En Banc in Exxon Valdez Case
Jump to Comments
The 9th Circuit has denied the petition for rehearing en banc in the Exxon Valdez punitive damages case. Several judges (Kozinski and Bea) had urged the entire court to reject any punitive damages.
Update: Eugene Volokh says Supreme Court review should be “likely” and “appropriate,” relying on Judge Kozinski’s dissent aguing that maritime law bars any punitive damages under the facts.
