District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided April 16, 2015No. 1D14-4147PublishedCited by 5 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtRoberts, J.
The Appellant, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, appeals an order entered by the *571trial court that denied its motion to determine the interest rate payable on judgment. The Appellant argued that the 2011 amendment to section 55.03 applied to any post-judgment interest accrued after the date the 2011 amendment became effective. The trial court disagreed and found that the 2010 version of section 55.03 in place at the time of the final judgment was entered provided that the 2010 post-judgment rate would apply until the judgment was satisfied. We agree with the Appellant.
