    Don’t Ignore Prejudgment Interest

    February 02, 2026 —
    When it comes to contracts, there may be a clause that provides that untimely payments shall bear interest at a particular rate. Or it may be the statutory rate. That clause will come into play when determining prejudgment interest. In ANY dispute, prejudgment interest can be an important damages component that accrues from the date of the loss. Don’t ignore prejudgment interest. The Fourth District of Florida, in a construction dispute, maintained:
    “[I]f a plaintiff establishes that he sustained out-of-pocket loss, prejudgment interest must be awarded from the date of the loss. The trial court has no discretion regarding awarding prejudgment interest and must do so applying the statutory rate of interest in effect at the time the interest accrues.”
    Bensusan v. Design Engineering Group, LLC, 2025 WL 3466367 (Fla. 4th DCA 2025) (citation omitted).

    When Actions (May) Speak Louder Than Words: Inadvertently Altering or Waiving Contract Terms Through Course of Performance

    September 15, 2025 —
    This article discusses instances where parties’ actions during the life of a contract can influence a court’s future interpretation of the contract’s terms, or, in some cases, even waive a contract term. While this article doesn’t examine every situation where this might occur, it highlights two different situations that general contractors need to be aware of. First, this article explains the idea of “course of performance.” If litigation arises and a contract provision is subject to multiple interpretations, then the parties’ actions during the life of the contract can be used to interpret the provision. This can lead to unexpected outcomes or different results for one (or both) of the parties to the dispute. Read the full story...
