Abstract

A choice of governing law can be determinative of whether a party is able to recover prejudgment interest on damages for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract and misrepresentation in contracting. This article compares prejudgment interest awards on such damages under New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania law. Following a review of the governing statutes and case law in this area, the author points out that recovery of prejudgment interest is more readily available under New York law.
