Re: Judgement
The rate of postjudgment interest should be set out in the judgment itself. Five years ago that would have been 10% simple interest, but look at the language in either the judgment itself or an abstract of judgment if one exists.
If there was a higher contractual rate between the parties, that could be carried forward in the judgment as well.
