Overton v Westgate
Trial court ruled in favor of timeshare owners on their claim of common law fraud and consumer protection statutes. Appellate court affirmed reasonableness of a punitive damages award (as modified by the statutory cap) in the sum of $500,000 based on Westgate’s “reprehensible” conduct; trial court order correctly refused to enforce Westgate’s forum selection clause.
