City of Detroit v. J Cusmano & Son, Inc

In this condemnation case, plaintiff appeals as of right the March 16, 1988, judgment which awarded defendant $896,755.20 "plus statutory interest from the date of possession to the date of payment.” The award represents the difference between the mediation award of $1.3 million and amounts already paid to defendant, and attorney fees of $414,239.67. Plaintiff claims that the attorney fee portion of the award is unreasonable and also includes impermissible interest on the attorney fees. We affirm in part, reverse in part and remand.
