Facts of the Case

Background

The first respondent obtained a court order registering an arbitration award requiring the applicant to pay US$103,208.38 as arrear commission. The applicant paid the judgment debt and costs, but the first respondent attached additional motor vehicles to recover interest on the judgment debt, arguing that interest is recoverable under the Prescribed Rate of Interest Act even though the court order was silent on interest.
