What it's about
Liu argued that the award counted some transactions more than once, included transfers later reversed, and charged him for college housing costs he says did not exist.
The Texas Court of Appeals for the Fourteenth District left the award in place before Liu sought Supreme Court review.
Question presented
Whether a state court ’ s judicial imposition and subsequent appellate affirmation of a substantial civil monetary judgment violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment when the underlying judgment relies upon a demonstrably distorted, speculative arithmetic methodology that multi-counts single transactions and penalizes legally non-existent expenditures.
