The court she has filled this case in requires there to be at least 75k worth of damages to proceed. I’ve not read the filling myself (might read it later on, but also I might not), but the article says they are looking for a figure in excess of 75k, they can amend their filing later to increase their demand, or (if they win) leave the final figure to the decision of the jury. (I means the jury will have a say in the figure either way, but stating what you want in the filing telegraphs to the jury what you actually want.) All this is to say the figure in this filing isn’t the figure she will probably end up asking for. (However, all civil courts can award you is money. So when all the person wants is to have their case heard. Have their side heard, and it’s not about the money, they will often ask for the minimum.)
