Supreme Court of Arkansas

Gloria Daniel, Appellant v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, Appellee

June 1, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 178

Summary

The court held that statutory postjudgment interest on an attorney-fee award begins accruing when the fee amount is quantified in dollars and cents, not when the court first determines that the party is entitled to fees. Because the fee amount was set by a later order, the circuit court correctly calculated interest from that order and confirmed complete satisfaction. The court therefore affirmed.
