A DMONITORY I NSTRUCTIONS

PJC 100.12 Parallel Theories on Damages In answering questions about damages, answer each question separately. Do not increase or reduce the amount in one answer because of your answer to any other question about damages. Do not speculate about what any party’s ulti mate recovery may or may not be. Any recovery will be determined by the court when it applies the law to your answers at the time of judgment. COMMENT When to use. If several theories of recovery are submitted in the charge and any theory has a different legal measure of damages to be applied to a factually similar claim for damages, the Committee recommends that a separate damages question for each theory be submitted and that the above additional instruction be included earlier in the charge.
