Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

1Opinion of the CourtMarshall, C.J.
At issue in this appeal is the validity of a substantial punitive judgment entered against United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company (USF&G) in favor of J & S Insulation, Inc. (J&S). J&S was a subcontractor to R.W. Granger & Sons, Inc. (Granger), the general contractor on construction work at Logan Airport, for whom USF&G was the surety. See G. L. c. 149, § 29.2 The punitive damages were awarded after a judge in the Superior Court concluded that USF&G had wilfully and knowingly violated G. L. c. 93A in the wake of a jury verdict against Granger on a breach of contract claim by J&S.
