Interest


COMMENT

'Interest' is the normally straight-forward concept of a percentage annual fee placed on a debt or monetary judgment, typically in a civil litigation context where the Courts of Justice Act (CJA) sets out time-varying rates for pre- and post-judgment interest. This is commonly contrasted with a 'contractual' rates, where parties to a contract set their own interest rates. There are further issues such as compound interest, the criminal interest rate and more.
