The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding when statutory interest on wrongful dismissal damages becomes enforceable. The plaintiff argued interest should run from the complaint's service, while the lower court held it began only upon the final judgment. The court ruled that interest becomes due upon the service of the complaint copy because this act serves as the legal summons to pay, establishing the payment deadline.
