Following a summary judgment awarding the plaintiffs $806,380.59 for a failed real estate transaction, the court determined pre-judgment interest and costs.
The plaintiffs were awarded $36,293.33 in pre-judgment interest.
Because the plaintiffs bettered their offer to settle of $490,000, they were presumptively entitled to substantial indemnity costs from the date of the offer under Rule 49.10.
The court found the plaintiffs' claimed costs of $121,861.18 to be proportionate and reasonable, and ordered the defendant to pay that amount.
