The Associated Press reports that L.A. Superior Court judge Richard Rico has denied the plaintiffs’ petition to confirm an arbitrator’s award of $128 million in punitive damages against 21st Century Fox. Judge Rico confirmed the arbitrator’s award of $50 million in compensatory damages, but refused to confirm the punitive damages award, apparently on the ground that the plaintiffs waived their right to seek punitive damages.
