Recent Quantum Awards: Last October the Louisiana Supreme Court upset a near half-century old standard for reviewing quantum on appeal. In Pete v. Boland Marinethe court reversed course. It instructed the courts of appeal to consider damage awards in other cases as part of the assessment of whether the trier-of-fact abused its "vast discretion." Now, a year later, we review how the courts responded and what more the LASC has done to define the new paradigm.
