Please convert this amount into a U.S. dollar amount (currency
converters are widely available on the Internet), and then note in the
"Description" field what the verdict or settlement amount was in its
original currency. Also, please include a note that the amount was
converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of the "Verdict or Settlement
Amount" field. We are sorry to be U.S.-centric about this, but for research
purposes it is easier to have all the amounts entered in
the same currency.
This also should be noted in the “Description” field.
Any such factors should be noted in the “Description” field at the bottom of the legal threat entry form.
This field notes the amount of money that a party has been ordered to
pay or has agreed to pay. In the case of a verdict amount, it is the
amount the judge or jury has determined is owed to the prevailing
party. In the case of a mutual settlement, it is the amount one party
agrees to pay to the other. The amount entered should be a numeric
value -- ie. "$2,500,000" -- equaling the total amount of any payments made as a result of
the legal threat. Please do not use abbreviations like "$2.5 Million."
