a

in the case of any sum paid before judgment, the date of the payment; and

b

in the case of the sum for which judgment is given, the date of the judgment.

2

In relation to a judgment given for damages for personal injuries or death which exceed £200 subsection (1) shall have effect—

b

with the addition of “unless the court is satisfied that there are special reasons to the contrary” after “given”, where first occurring.

a

there are proceedings (whenever instituted) before a county court for the recovery of a debt; and

b

the defendant pays the whole debt to the plaintiff (otherwise than in pursuance of a judgment in the proceedings),

the defendant shall be liable to pay the plaintiff simple interest, at such rate as the court thinks fit or as may be prescribed, on all or any part of the debt for all or any part of the period between the date when the cause of action arose and the date of the payment.

7

Nothing in this section affects the damages recoverable for the dishonour of a bill of exchange.

8

In determining whether the amount of any debt or damages exceeds that prescribed by or under any enactment, no account shall be taken of any interest payable by virtue of this section except where express provision to the contrary is made by or under that or any other enactment.
