AI summary
The Constitutional Court considered an appeal about when mora interest should run on general damages for unlawful arrest and detention under the Prescribed Rate of Interest Act 55 of 1975. It held that interest on general damages should run from the date of the trial court’s judgment to the date of payment. The appeal was upheld and the Supreme Court of Appeal order on interest was set aside and replaced.
This appears to concern damages and interest calculations in unlawful arrest and detention claims.
Evidence from source
I therefore conclude that interest on general damages should run from date of judgment to the date of payment.
