any appropriation act providing for payment of the judgment. [L 1957, c 312, pt

Attorney General Opinions



 



  Implies that judgments against State not funded by agency
budgets.  Att. Gen. Op. 85-8.



 



Case Notes



 



  Applicable to judgments against State; interest accrues from
entry of final appellate judgment.  6 H. App. 70, 708 P.2d 829, aff'd, 68 H.
220, 708 P.2d 824.



  Trial court did not err in concluding that the State was
immune from paying more than four per cent per annum post-judgment interest on
the plaintiffs' damages; as State appealed from trial court's judgment and thus
interest began to accrue "after the judgment on appeal", trial court
did not err in concluding that post-judgment interest on the plaintiffs'
damages began to accrue on that date.  105 H. 104, 94 P.3d 659.
