In a closely watched case, the Florida Supreme Court threw out a state law capping non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, finding it violated the equal protection clause of the state Constitution.
The court split 5-2 in rejecting the business-backed $1 million cap imposed by the Legislature in 2003.
