Does interest on prejudgment attorney fees accrue from the date of the original judgment or from date the award was entered on remand?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Pacifica Cos. v. Patel, D074358 (Cal. App. 2019):
The issue on appeal is whether interest on the award of prejudgment attorney fees accrues from the date of the original judgment or from the date the award was entered on remand. The parties agree this is a question of law, which we review de novo. (Chodos v. Borman (2015) 239 Cal.App.4th 707, 712 (Chodos).)
