The following excerpt is from Potts v. Ford Motor Co., Case No.: 3:21-cv-00256-BEN-BGS (S.D. Cal. 2021):
considered when determining the amount in controversy. See id. (citing Bell v. Preferred Life Assurance Soc'y, 320 U.S. 238 (1943)). It follows, therefore, that the civil penalties sought here should be included in the amount in controversy, just as they would be considered if they were punitive damages.
