Because of the Defendant's malicious refusal to deal with Plaintiffs and its policy of discrimination against Plaintiffs because of race or color, Plaintiffs claim punitive or exemplary damages. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs ask jUdgment against Defendant for: (a) Actual damages in an amount to be proved at trial; (b) Compensatory damages in an amount to be proved at trial; (c) Punitive damages; (d) Appropriate injunctive relief; (e) Reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of suit; and (f) Further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
