Statutory Interest Rate Reinstatement After Voided Settlement Agreement
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe appellate court considered a case involving the calculation of interest on a judgment, where the lower court applied a statutory interest rate that was arguably superseded by a contractual rate in a prior settlement agreement that was later voided. The court reasoned that once the settlement agreement, which contained the contractual interest rate provision, was voided, the parties reverted to the statutory interest rate applicable at the time of the original breach, as the voiding of the settlement effectively nullified the agreement's governing terms, thus requiring the application of the default legal standard for post-judgment interest.
