Description
By petition for certiorari we have for review a decision of the District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (Touchette v. Bould, 324 So.2d 707) which allegedly conflicts with decisions of this Court and the District Courts of Appeal on the same point of law. The District Court held that punitive damages must bear some reasonable, albeit imprecise, relation to the actual, or compensatory, damages, citing International Union of Operating Engineers, Local No. 675 v. Lassitter, 325 So.2d 408 (Fla.4th DCA 1975). We accepted jurisdiction of Lassitter as being in conflict with Levine v. Knowles, 197 So.2d 329 (Fla.3d DCA 1967), and Hutchinson v. Lott, 110 So.2d 442 (Fla. 1st DCA 1959). We have jurisdiction. Article V, Section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution.
