But on the other hand we dont have punitive damages in civil law for anything. Generally, you can’t be sued for a randomly large amount of money like you can in the US. It has to be provable and direct costs of, in this case, lost business. This is probably why the judgement was for quite a small amount of money, considering how much a law firm turns over in a year.
