Court partially allowed claim for statutory interest on unpaid invoices based on defendant's knowledge of debt.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the plaintiff's main claim for the remaining debt but granted a partial award for statutory interest on specific invoice amounts. The defendant argued against payment, yet the court found it had sufficient knowledge of the debt by mid-April 2013, establishing a delay period for interest calculation. Consequently, the court ordered the defendant to pay the calculated interest while dismissing the rest of the claim and splitting the litigation costs between the parties.
