Damages Cap Applicability to Pre-Judgment Interest in Award Calculation
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case involves a dispute over the calculation of an award in a prior legal matter concerning business relationships, specifically concerning the applicability of a statutory cap on damages and the proper method for applying a pre-judgment interest rate to the underlying judgment amount. The court reasoned that the statutory cap applies only to the portion of the award representing damages, not to pre-judgment interest which is considered an ancillary component of the judgment, and thus the pre-judgment interest calculated at the specified statutory rate should be added to the capped damages amount to arrive at the final award, as the interest itself was not subject to the damage limitation.
