A 320 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for interest to be recovered upon a sum awarded in certain circumstances

This bill (A 320) clarifies how interest is calculated and recovered in civil court cases where a plaintiff wins a monetary award. It directly affects individuals and businesses winning cases involving contract breaches, property disputes, or bodily injury. Key changes require courts to specify the exact date interest starts accruing in verdicts (typically the date of injury for bodily harm cases) and mandate that courts or clerks compute the interest amount up to the verdict date. The bill standardizes these procedures without altering the types of cases where interest applies.
