Judges Jansen, Corrigan, and T. G. Kavanagh; Unanimous; Per Curiam 
Official Michigan Reporter Citation:  Not Applicable; Link to Opinion alt   


STATUTORY INDEXING:  
Not Applicable

TOPICAL INDEXING:  
Civil Judgments and Interest (MCL 600.6013)   


CASE SUMMARY:  
In this unanimous unpublished per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals upheld statutory interest under MCLA 600.6013 on an award of taxable costs and attorney fees.  

The court noted that the Legislature had recently amended MCLA 600.6013 to explicitly provide that interest under this section should be calculated on the entire amount of the money judgment, including attorney fees and other costs. Although this amendment does not apply to cases filed before October 1, 1993, the amendment demonstrates that the decision in Wayne-Oakland Bank v Brown Valley Farms, Inc, 170 Mich App 16 (1988) upholding such interest on attorney fees and costs is the better view.
