Heading: Allowance of interest prior to date of judgment.

Text: The trial court erred in allowing interest on the amount of the jury verdict of $5,400 from April 10, 1973, the date of the final redelivery to plaintiff of the skidder, to the date of the judgment. Plaintiff's complaint did not plead facts to establish a claim for interest prior to the entry of judgment and the prayer of the complaint did not ask for an allowance of interest, as required by our previous decisions. See Lithia Lumber Co. v. Lamb, 250 Or. 444, 447, 443 P.2d 647 (1968), and Southern Pac. Co. v. Oregon etc. Assn., 127 Or. 364, 386, 272 P. 281 (1928). That portion of the judgment of the trial court allowing interest to the date of the judgment must therefore be deleted. In all other respects the judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Affirmed as modified.
