Unlimited awards given by the courts, amount to a greater government impact, a greater amount of power for the government to intervene and at least in the broadest sense of the word regulate, than limited awards do. Not logic twisting, that's the simple fact. Not if you are on the plaintiff side... then the government is regulating a limit to compensation for what could be far greater economic harm. As usual there are winners and losers with new regulation. You apparently want to pretend that the tort system, isn't a government activity. No. I saying where there is no current regulation (cap on awards) if you put caps on awards you are putting in new regulation. If an intersection didn't have a stop sign and the government put in a new stop sign it would be new regulation, wouldn't it Tim?
