Bell v. Westinghouse Electric Corp.
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided April 14, 1986No. 85-310PublishedCited by 19 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
FERREN, Associate Judge:
The issue on appeal in this tort case is whether interest on a plaintiff’s judgment vacated by the trial court — but reinstated after appeal by a mandate that did not mention interest — shall run from the date of the verdict and original judgment or from the date the verdict and judgment were reinstated. We hold that, absent an express provision in our mandate, interest shall run from the date of the verdict and original judgment. Because the trial court ruled incorrectly, we reverse and remand.
