Rule 37 Interest on Judgment

If you win a money judgment in the Superior Court and the other side appeals, interest keeps adding up while the case is being appealed. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Superior Court's decision (affirms it), you still get interest calculated from the original date the Superior Court entered the judgment, not from when the appeal ended. This is true unless another law says something different.

If instead the Supreme Court changes or overturns the decision and sends the case back for a new money judgment to be entered, the Supreme Court has to give clear instructions about how interest should be handled. This means the lower court won't have to guess about interest calculations. It will follow whatever directions the Supreme Court provides in its mandate.
