Although Kolstad concerned punitive damages in a Title VII employment
discrimination case, and Wade addressed punitive damages in a § 1983 civil rights
action, we believe the same standard for punitive damages applies in the Fair Housing
Act context. See Alexander v. Riga, 208 F.3d 419, 430-32 (3rd Cir. 2000) (discussing
applicability of Kolstad to Fair Housing Act violations). Applying that standard, we
conclude that the district court erred in refusing to submit the issue of punitive damages
to the jury.
