Holding
The court held that the $500,000 punitive‑damages award was neither constitutionally excessive nor unlawful under California statutes; the trial court properly considered the plaintiffs’ unrecoverable noneconomic damages, the defendants’ high degree of reprehensibility, and the financial condition of the successor‑in‑interest entity (Holdings) in determining the award. ---
