The appeal court partially overturned the first-instance judgment, finding an error in the classification of statutory interest on damages. The appellant argued that the lower court's labeling of these amounts as 'statutory interest' violated procedural rules and misapplied the law. Consequently, the court ordered a retrial to correct the legal characterization of the interest payments.
