The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the start date for calculating interest on unpaid overtime pay. The plaintiff argued interest should run from the judgment date, while the court held that a claim without a specified monetary amount does not constitute a valid summons to pay. Consequently, the court determined that interest obligations began only after the plaintiff precisely defined the debt amount in a subsequent document.
