Bill Summary
Relative to interest on disputed attorneys fees. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Massachusetts law concerning interest added to damages in contract actions, specifically addressing situations where funds are disputed due to attorney fees and have been deposited with the court before a trial. The key provision is that if such funds are held by the court, the only interest that can be added to the final judgment will be the actual amount of interest generated by those court-held funds, preventing additional interest from being charged on the disputed amount.
