Subject: Punitive damages for breach of contract

Very unusually, she actually put the ‘without prejudice’ settlement offer in the record on the basis that it went to the issue of punitive damages.

But I think they were really only offering to write off most of the bill, with her still paying $2,000.

Then there was a cheque sent by Rogers personally, for $5,000, which she has never cashed on the ground that she wanted to deal with the company as such.

I met her at a conference in June and she said she spent her whole sabbatical on this.

From the report, it appears she should have had a punitive costs award made against her since her recovery (even with the punitive damages) was well below the $10,000 settlement offered by Rogers. Lucky she was in small claims court.
