Compound vs. Simple Interest on Post-Judgment Awards
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe matter concerned the calculation of an interest award following a judgment, specifically the propriety of applying a compound interest rate derived from a prior stipulated agreement to the post-judgment period, where the underlying stipulation governed only pre-judgment interest. The court reasoned that absent an express contractual provision or clear statutory authorization for post-judgment compound interest, the general rule of simple interest should apply to the judgment amount; therefore, applying the contractually derived compound rate post-judgment was improper, requiring recalculation using the statutory simple interest rate.
