If you harmed 1,000 individuals, where they can demonstrate that you harmed them each for $500,000, should they not be able to get their justice by each getting $500,000 or are they not allowed to have their full justice because the collective judgement would be $500 million dollars?
If you were a plaintiff, would you accept a much smaller judgement than you are due, because the totality of all whom is suing is a huge amount? If I gave you a coffee coupon, instead of $500,000, you’d be happy with that?
