Hope the judge awards damages to the boat owner.

What damages?


Punitive.

Maybe. That's speculative.


sigh

You just don't get it, do you? The owner hasn't suffered ANY damages
yet. Let alone punitive.


Actually *you* don't.

Bill said "Hope the judge awards damages to the boat owner."

Notice the key word *hope*.

You then said "What damages?", to which I replied "punitive".

You then went into a legal tirade.

Do you understand the word "punitive"?

Do you understand the word "hope"?

Go start a fight with someone else as I am done with this thread.



Actually to get punitive damages, they also have to have actual damages.
Is
the law. I sat on a jury where that was explaned to us. But he has
occured
damages, in hiring a lawyer.

Not true. He hired a lawyer on his own accord.


He hired a lawyer, to protect his assets. If the SeaTow people had not made
the claim, he would not have to shell out for legal costs. Therefore, he
has suffered damages. And lawyers fees can add up to a lot of damages
quickly.
