HALO Branded Solutions, Inc., Respondent- Missouri Cases

All Star Awards & Ad Specialties, Inc. appealed the circuit court's reduction of a jury's punitive damages award against HALO Branded Solutions, Inc., arguing the statutory cap violated its right to a jury trial. HALO cross-appealed, challenging the tortious interference claim and the punitive damages award on due process grounds. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that the statutory cap on punitive damages did not violate All Star's right to a jury trial for claims not recognized or analogous to claims existing in 1820, and that the reduced punitive damages award did not violate HALO's due process rights.
