Suttles v. Roygreen2 sentences2017Smitherman [ ] or § 11-93-2 allows" "this Court ... [to] consider the individual claim against Suttles as, in substance, an official-capacity claim subject to the cap of § 11-93-2," 75 So.3d at 98 , 4 and we further explained the distinction between individual-capacity and official-capacity claims in relation to the damages cap imposed by § 11-93-2 : "Insofar as Roy's action seeks damages against Suttles in his official capacity , as noted in Smitherman , the cap of § 11-93-2 limits any recovery against Homewood and Suttles to $100,000. 2017However, no authority is cited or argument advanced demonstrating that this Court or the trial court can consider the individual claim against Suttles as, in substance, an official-capacity claim subject to the cap of § 11-93-2 ; further, nothing in Benson , Smitherman , or § 11-93-2 allows such a result." 75 So.3d at 97-98 (emphasis added). | 1 | 1 |
