New York Court of Appeals
Donald Flamm, Appellant v. Edward J. Noble, Respondent
April 17, 1947296 N.Y. 262
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that a plaintiff who proved fraud or duress causing a monetary loss is entitled to prejudgment interest as a matter of law, and that the plaintiff's failure to raise the issue earlier does not bar recovery. Accordingly, the lower courts' denial of interest was reversed and the motion granting interest was ordered.
