Partner Jesse Panuccio received a shout-out in AmLaw Litigation Daily’s Litigator of the Week and was quoted by the Daily Business Review for helping secure a unanimous Florida Supreme Court ruling earlier this month reviving punitive damages claims. The decision overturned a Fourth District Court of Appeal ruling that required “clear and convincing evidence” at the pleading stage.
Jesse described the opinion as a straightforward, text-based interpretation of the statute, underscoring the court’s commitment to textualism and rejecting the lower court’s heightened standard.
