Until this case, I always thought that post-judgment interest was "simple" interest and not compound interest. Apparently, I was wrong. The court of appeals notes in passing "the trial court determined that the effective post-judgment interest rate is 10%, compounded annually. It is from this order that the current appeal arises." But, the court does not even address the propriety of the use of compound interest as opposed to simple interest.
The case itself emphasizes an important point -- the statute of limitations on the judgment does not commence until the judgment is final. If the court of appeals remands the case for further proceedings, then the judgment is not final.
