A Florida appeals court has clarified a rule governing the state’s appellate procedure regarding money judgments and interest.

Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday in a medical malpractice case hinged on Rule 9.340(c) of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. The rule holds “if a judgment of reversal is entered that requires the entry of a money judgment on a verdict, the mandate shall be deemed to require such money judgment to be entered as of the date of the verdict.”
