DECISION ON INTEREST
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Pursuant to the directions of this court contained in para 58 of the judgment dated 17 June 2013, written submissions have been received from the parties on the issue of interest.
2. Those submissions have been considered. I do not believe that the respondents are taken by surprise by the applicants’ claim for interest. The claim has been made in paras 3 and 4 of the Amended Summons.
3. I do not see any reason not to award interest against the respondents in light of the findings made by this court. In respect of the pre-judgment interest, I award interest on the impugned payments which runs from the dates when those payments were made to the respondents until 17 June 2013 at prime plus 1%. Thereafter, interest at judgment rate(s) applies until payment.
