- W3124229159 abstract "INTRODUCTION Our tort system has a major and growing problem. State and federal courts, state and federal legislators, a wide array of commentators, and lawyers from both sides of litigation table all agree that we have a problem. All also agree that there is currently no satisfactory solution to this problem. Briefly stated, this problem is how to handle a situation in which a defendant, who has injured potential plaintiffs by a single act or course of conduct, faces punitive damages awards for that conduct.' so-called multiple punishments problem2 (sometimes called multiple punitive damages problem)3 has spawned (i) numerous majority and dissenting opinions in both state4 and federal5 courts, (ii) a variety of law review articles from leading commentators,6 (iii) several state statutes,7 (iv) failed attempts at federal legislation,8 and (v) an ominous warning from United States Supreme Court in its most recent punitive damages decision.9 punitive damages problem was first identified in 1960s by Judge Friendly: The legal difficulties engendered by claims for punitive damages on part of hundreds of plaintiffs are staggering.10 Nearly four decades later, problem remains every bit as staggering in breadth. question of whether due process (or anything else) imposes any restraints on punitive damages awards has been aptly characterized by Professor David Owen, a leading commentator on punitive damages, as the most momentous question as yet unresolved by Court. Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, a staunch supporter of tort reform, has declared punitive damages problem of most egregious and unconscionable . .. abuses and excesses in our civil justice system.12 Even Professor Laurence Tribe, a long and fervent supporter of punitive damages,13 concedes that due process ought to limit in way recovery of punitive damages awards for same conduct through some double jeopardy like doctrine.14 Adding their voices to chorus are highly respected American Law Institute (ALI),15 American Bar Association (ABA), l6 and American Association of Trial Lawyers.17 Yet solution to this ongoing problem has proven elusive.18 All quarters involved in attempting to solve problem agree, however, that a comprehensive solution can only be accomplished on a national, rather than state, level.1'' aim of this Article is to provide such a solution-a solution that is not only faithful to theoretical objectives of punitive damages, readily understood by litigants, and easily applied by courts, but one that is also politically viable in this intensely partisan climate. This Article's proposed solution to punishments problem (hereinafter Proposal) involves passing federal legislation that, inter alia, creates a National Punitive Damages Registry (hereinafter Registry). Under Proposal, a defendant who causes injury to plaintiffs through a single act or course of conduct would be eligible to file a Prior Punitive Damages Statement (hereinafter Statement) with Registry after either (i) a punitive damages verdict is entered against defendant, or (ii) a settlement that includes a punitive damages component is reached between defendant and one or more of plaintiffs. Following verdict or settlement, defendant would prepare Statement, which would include a detailed description of conduct for which defendant was being punished and amount of such punishment and then would move trial court for an order certifying Statement. trial court would then certify Statement after ensuring that it fairly and accurately described conduct at issue and accurately reflected amount of punitive damages being paid. defendant would then file certified Statement with Registry, which would then immediately post Statement on a publicly-accessible website for all to see. …" @default.
