HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana’s attorney general intends to defend the state’s $10 million limit on the punitive damages a judge or jury can award an individual after a district judge ruled the cap is unconstitutional.

The notice filed with the Montana Supreme Court on Tuesday says Attorney General Tim Fox will intervene in a constitutional challenge of the cap, which is the lesser of $10 million or 3 percent of a defendant’s net worth.
