TAYLOR v. ATCHISON, T. & S. F. RY. CO.

No. 6381.

92 F.Supp. 968 (1950)

TAYLOR v. ATCHISON, T. & S. F. RY. CO.

United States District Court W. D. Missouri, W. D.

August 14, 1950.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Fred J. Freel, Kansas City, Mo., for plaintiff.

Lathrop, Crane, Sawyer, Woodson & Righter, Kansas City, Mo., for defendant.

REEVES, Chief Judge.

The defendant has filed its motion to strike all portions of the complaint which assert and demand punitive damages. This is done upon the theory that punitive damages as a general rule are not recoverable in actions for the breach of contracts. Such was the ruling in Young v. Main, 8 Cir., 72 F.2d 640, loc. cit. 643; Sadler v. Pennsylvania Refining Co., D.C., 31 F.Supp. 1
