Jury verdicts over US$100mn
A survey carried out by the
National Law Journal
reports a record 27 jury verdicts of more than US$100mn in 2000. The largest was for US$145bn against R J Reynolds, currently
at appeal. The next, for US$4.5bn against Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, is unlikely to be collected.
