Judgments against a public entity: interest.

Existing law provides that a person who is entitled to collect certain damages is also entitled to collect interest on the damages from that day, except as specified. Existing law provides that this requirement applies to the collection of interest from a public entity. Existing law prohibits, in an action to recover damages for a personal injury resulting from or occasioned by the tort of another, a public entity and a public employee whose action or condition was within the scope of employment from being liable for interest.
