California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hjelm v. Prometheus Real Estate Grp., Inc., 208 Cal.Rptr.3d 394, 3 Cal.App.5th 1155 (Cal. App. 2016):
324 to 325.) And the court concluded, It is well settled, however, that [w]here the judgment is modified merely to add costs, attorney fees and interest, the original judgment is not substantially changed and the time to appeal it is therefore not affected. (Ibid. ; accord, Laraway v. Pasadena Unified School Dist. (2002) 98 Cal.App.4th 579, 583, 120 Cal.Rptr.2d 213.)
