  1. Clark v. Cox

    134 Conn. 226 (Conn. 1947)   Cited 31 times
    In Clark v. Cox, 134 Conn. 226, 56 A.2d 512, the plaintiffs claimed interest on the judgment reassessing damages in a highway condemnation from the date of the filing of the assessment by the commissioner to the date of judgment.

    Under the second, where, as in the instant case, the condemnor had the right of immediate possession upon performing certain acts, regardless of whether payment was postponed or the valuation was uncertain because of an appeal, interest was allowed in the case of Shannahan v. Waterbury, 63 Conn. 420, 28 A. 611. See Novogroski v. MacDonald, 4 Conn. Sup. 474. These decisions show that, under either type of statute, the time when the condemnor's right to possession accrued sets the time for the running of interest on the value, as determined, of the property taken.
