PUNITIVE DAMAGES DENIED
 
 
A woman was awarded $400,000 in punitive damages by a jury. The award was reduced to $50,000 because of the statutory cap. The 4th Circuit subsequently eliminated punitive damages "since there was no proof that . . . management ever had actual knowledge of the harassment."
