This proposal imposes arbitrary caps on general damages that applyregardless of the number of parties responsible, meaning multiple wrongdoers are collectively shielded by a single limit. It restricts the ability of courts and juries to fully account for the scope of harm and shared liability in complex cases. Justice should reflect the actual damages and responsibility involved—not be constrained by inflexible, one-size-fits-all caps.
