JOHN GORMAN ET AL | Court Date: | | 2025-09-09 09:00 AM | Calendar Matter: | | Notice Of Motion And Motion To Tax Costs; Memorandum Of Points In Authorities In Support Thereof | Rulings: | | On the Law & Motion/Discovery calendar for September 9, 2025, line 1. DEFENDANT JOHN GORMAN'S Motion To Tax Costs.

Defendant John Gorman's unopposed Motion to Tax Costs is GRANTED. Neither pre-judgment nor post-judgment interest is a cost identified as allowable in Code of Civil Procedure 1033.5. It is also true that neither is a cost identified as disallowed. Generally, however, interest on a judgment is not an allowable cost under section 1033.5. Instead, pre-judgment interest must be pursued by adjudication and post-judgment interest accrues automatically on the principal amount of the judgment by operation of law. Good cause appearing, the motion to tax Plaintiff's interest cost of $10,338.24 is granted.
